Pacers' George, Ellis have been much bigger scorers in second half

Though they are both coming off a rough shooting night against Cleveland on Monday, Indiana Pacers stars Paul George and Monta Ellis remain two of the most lethal shooters in the game as crunch time closes in.

George was 3 of 15 from the field against the Cavaliers and Ellis was 5 of 18. But the Pacers' top two scorers (George at 23.2 points per game, Ellis at 14.3) have, for the season, been at their best in second halves of games. In fact, no one in the NBA has been better.
