Senators discuss gun laws| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — While some national lawmak-ers eye new limits on access to guns in the wake of last month’s school shooting in Connecticut, two Republican state senators are trying to expand who can carry guns and where in Indiana.

Sen. Jim Banks of Columbia City has proposed allowing students to carry firearms on Indiana’s public university campuses. Sen. Dennis Kruse of Auburn wants a bill that would exempt guns made exclusively in Indiana from federal rules and regulations.

The measures face little chance of success in the Gen-eral Assembly this year. But Banks said Tuesday that law-makers should still have an open, wide-ranging discus-sion about guns that high-lights both arguments for and against increased access.

Banks said Indiana members of the national group Students for Concealed Carry asked him to propose the bill concerning carrying firearms on campus-es. He said the group is push-ing for increased gun access at colleges and has a large mem-bership of female students that’s focused on protecting women on campus.

“That’s what’s compelling about this issue, is how many female students there are around the state, who have very specific and real reasons to be afraid for their own safe-ty on their campus,” he said. “The number of sexual assault cases on campuses is alarming.”

Kruse is proposing that anyone who makes guns in Indiana from parts made in the state and then sells them in the state be exempted from all federal gun regulations.

“Part of it is exercising our 10th Amendment rights, that Indiana can have our own laws and

Indiana politicians are looking to allow firearms on campuses

CARDS OPEN CONFERENCE PLAY TONIGHT

| CONOR HOCKETT CHIEF REPORTER @ConorHockett

Head coach Billy Taylor has always said he tries to schedule teams comparable to Mid-Amer-ican Conference opponents in the nonconference schedule, and that correlation is imme-diately noticeable for Ball State this season.

In the team’s last game against Norfolk State, junior guard Jesse Berry described the Spartans’ defenders as “going up against a bunch of Chris Bonds.” Long, rangy and athletic, Bond is known to use his physical skills to be a disruptive defender.

When Ball State (6-6) opens its Mid-American Conference sea-son at Eastern Michigan (7-7) on Wednesday, Taylor said the team will be going up against similar body types in 6’6” Daylen Harri-son and 6’8” Glenn Bryant as wing players in the Eagles’ 2-3 zone.

“They just present a lot of prob-lems with their length,” Taylor said. “Eastern does a good job of

getting out and contesting shoot-ers and their forwards come up extremely high. Even when you penetrate their zone, they have shot blockers in there that can contest and change shots. They make it very difficult to score in the painted area.”

Ball State has had success against zoning teams in two wins against South Dakota this season, but Taylor said the Coy-otes usually played a lineup of four guards that were packed 3-point line and in.

The Eagles’ aggressive style and limited amount of offensive opportunities given to oppo-

nents make them the MAC’s sec-ond best scoring defense at 63.1 points allowed per game.

“They force you to use a lot of clock to try and get the shot that you want,” Taylor said. “You end up playing a little bit slower and end up taking more difficult shots than you want to.”

Despite the team’s defensive capabilities, Eastern Michigan has struggled to produce on the other end.

Harrison (10.0 ppg), Bryant (10.4 ppg) and senior Derek Thompson (11.4 ppg) all boast double-figure scoring averages, but the Eagles have a -5.1 scor-ing margin this season. Those numbers are a little bit skewed, however, by lopsided losses to Syracuse, Michigan and Ken-tucky by a combined 127 points.

Taylor said it’s hard to judge a MAC team during the noncon-ference because the strength of schedule ranges from team-to-team, but if preseason polls mean anything, the Cardinals’ start to the conference season is tough.

Ball State plays at Eastern Michigan, against Kent State and at Akron to begin league play. All three teams finished in

the top-three spots of either the MAC West or East Division in the preseason poll.

The Cardinals don’t play a team from the MAC East Division until Jan. 24 last season, but changes to the league schedule made di-visional crossover games more random this season.

Berry says opponents’ zone defense will test Ball State in opener

Mayor hosts local public forum

| LISA RYAN STAFF REPORTER laryanl@bsu.edu

People with concerns rang-ing from train speeds to tax sales met with Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler during a public forum Tuesday.

Tyler invited Muncie resi-dents to his office from 4 to 6 p.m. to share their concerns and propose ideas on how to improve the city.

“It’s so interesting to lis-ten to the different ideas, thoughts [and] issues people might have,” Tyler said.

One woman who Tyler said was more than 100 years old came to the his office because she had never seen it in all her years of living in Muncie.

Another man addressed his concern that the Mun-cie website listed churches

when some faith-based orga-nizations have other names.

Tyler fixed the problem im-mediately by changing the website to use the phrase “Places of Worship.”

Sometimes the issue is more complex like what the Quinn family is experiencing.

In the summer of 2011, a train killed Austin Quinn just one month after he graduated from Burris Labo-ratory School.

His parents and sister, Ball State student Sarah Quinn, talked to Tyler about lower-ing train speeds in Muncie.

David Quinn, Austin’s fa-ther, believes higher train speeds in a city means more people can get hurt.

“It puts people’s lives in jeopardy,” he said.

Tyler hopes they can find an answer for the Quinn family.

“We’re working towards a very positive solution for ev-erybody,” the mayor said.

David Quinn said speak-ing with Tyler directly was

valuable.“Because he’s a former fire-

fighter and state represen-tative, I wanted his opinion of it,” he said. “I think it’s a great program.”

Tyler agreed that the public forum has been a success.

“I was trying to think of a way to make contact with my constituents, and one of the things I’ve seen over the years is if you do a public forum mayor’s chat, many times people that want to come in and talk about some-thing like that, they don’t [usually] get the chance to,” Tyler said.

He had 10 visitors this year, and last year he had three. He sees the increase as a promising sign.

“Even if it’s something you can’t resolve, they feel a heck of a lot better about it at the end of the day because they talked to somebody that was honest with them and at least tried to help them in their situation,” he said.

Mayor Dennis Tyler foresees more police officers and more streetlights in Muncie as part of a way to increase city safety in the future.

Tyler said he wants to de-bunk the idea that Muncie

is unsafe. A MarketWatch article lists Muncie as No. 6 on its “10 U.S. cities where crime is soaring” list, but the mayor disagrees.

“I don’t believe we’re any more unsafe than any ur-ban city in the state of In-diana,” Tyler said. “I think we’re much safer than most of them. I think our crime is down tremendously.”

The statistics tell a dif-ferent story, with the FBI reporting 362 aggravated assaults in Muncie in 2011.

That number is more than Gary and every other Indi-ana city except Indianapolis.

Tyler believes the numbers are skewed, and said Police Chief Steve Stewart debunked the statistic.

In an effort to increase safety on Muncie streets, three new police officers were hired, and more money from the budget is being used to put officers on duty, Tyler said.

“Chief Stewart has done a great job taking people off the desk and into the

streets,” he said. Chris Wilkey, president of

the Student Government As-sociation, said students ap-proach him wanting more options for travel when walk-ing home on and near cam-pus at night. Many students would like to see better light-ing on Dill and Dicks streets, he said. Tyler said he is work-ing on the issue.

“One of the things we found when we came into office is we had almost 200 lights out in the city of Mun-

cie,” Tyler said.Tyler said he is working

with American Electric Power to turn on the streetlights.

“We’ll get done what we need to [in order] to get them on, and AEP is also working to take care of their responsi-bility,” Tyler said. “It’s a very good partnership.”

Tyler said he has many oth-er goals for the remainder of his term. His main concern is increasing the number of jobs to “create a decent standard of living.”

“The unemployment rate is not anywhere close to where we would like it to be,” he said.

According to the U.S. De-partment of Labor, Muncie’s unemployment rate is at 8.9 percent as of the most recent findings in November 2012. Indiana’s unemployment rate is 8 percent.

Other goals Tyler has for the city include more programs and parks for children and a better infrastructure to make Muncie more accessible for the disabled.

have those laws pertain to our state and if it’s not speci-fied otherwise, than I think we ought to be able to control our own things in our state and not have the federal govern-ment continue to just monop-olize everything that we do in our lives,” Kruse said.

Senate President Pro Tem David Long, R-Fort Wayne, filed the measures proposed by Banks and Kruse in the Senate rules committee, a move that typically signifies a bill’s dead for the session. But he said while Banks’ proposal regarding firearms on cam-puses “has some problems,” legislators are “really inclined to talk about it to see if there’s more we can do with the bill.”

Members of Indiana’s Black Legislative Caucus said they would support any national effort to reduce gun violence.

“One of the things that is happening around the coun-try is that those persons that are interested in gun control are beginning to assemble,” Sen. Earline Rogers, D-Gary, said Tuesday. “You’ve got your police chiefs, you’ve got your sheriffs, and you’ve got your mayors. So what we want to do as a caucus is be sort of a place where people can go in order to get our support.”

The response in Indiana to the Dec. 14 elementary school shooting that left 20 children and six adults dead in New-town, Conn., has been some-what muted. Incoming Gov. Mike Pence has said he plans a statewide review of school safety plans, but has declined to say whether he would make any changes to the state’s gun laws — either to increase or decrease access.

Attorney General Greg Zoeller and Sen. Pete Mill-er, R-Avon, have proposed spending $10 million to hire more law enforcement to pro-tect Indiana schools and stu-dents, but Zoeller pointed out his office began investigating the need to expand the state’s corps of “school resource of-ficers” well before the Con-necticut shooting.

BALL STATE TO RE-EVALUATE SEVERAL CHARTER SCHOOLS

| CHRIS STEPHENS CHIEF REPORTER castephens@bsu.edu

Nearly half of the more than 40 charter schools Ball State autho-rizes are up for renewal of char-ter this March, a process which comes on the heels of a study questioning the success of the university’s charter schools.

A December article published in the Indianapolis Star cited a study conducted by Stanford’s Center for Research on Educa-tion Outcomes, which placed In-diana fifth-best in the 23 states and cities examined, a good rat-ing that should have been better, the center’s director Margaret Raymond said.

“Charter performance would be even better were it not for the very poor test results of a handful of charter schools opened in the past four years under the spon-sorship of Ball State University,” she told the Indianapolis Star.

John Jacobson, dean of the Teachers College, said the main

purpose of a charter school is to allow for experimental educa-tion to try new teaching practices and curriculum where some of the state accountability and rules would be relaxed.

In order to become a charter school in Indiana, the institution must gain a charter authorizer.

All universities are eligible to become authorizers, as well as the state of Indiana and the In-dianapolis mayor.

Jacobson said there were some schools that were falling well below Ball State standards, but there are several factors that in-dicate whether a school is suc-cessful or not.

A particular school may be falling below the state average, however, the traditional schools in the same area are often falling below the state average as well, Jacobson said. Parent choice and student safety must also be taken into account.

An education management organization, or EMO, is an or-ganization or corporation that runs charter schools and decides management, curriculum and teaching practices, Jacobson said.

“I would say most of [Ball State’s] charter schools are

struggling in one way or another, and the majority of them are run by these large EMO’s,” Jacobson said. “We as authorizers don’t tell the school how to operate, or who to hire to teach or admin-istrate. We don’t even require a particular curriculum.”

Robert Marra, executive di-rector of the Office of Charter Schools, said some of the schools under review this March are un-derperforming, even falling under the 15th percentile in Indiana.

“In some of the cases, yeah, they are outperforming, and in a couple of them they are not. Those may be set up for closure or non renewal,” Marra said. “That was part of the bargain of charter schools in the first place.”

Ball State is tasked with offer-ing oversight that allows these schools to provide superior edu-cation and opportunities.

Most of those on the board of charter as well as the director are somewhat new to their po-sitions, which could be positive, Jacobson said.

“BSU is really taking authoriz-ing seriously, and in the past cou-ple years we have gotten a whole lot better,” Jacobson said. “I want to become the very best.”

National study finds institutions falling below BSU standards

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT MEADE, Md. — A military judge on Tuesday reduced the potential sen-tence for an Army private accused of sending reams of classified documents to the WikiLeaks website.

Col. Denise Lind made the ruling during a pretrial hear-ing at Fort Meade for Pfc. Bradley Manning.

Lind found that Manning suffered illegal pretrial pun-ishment during nine months in a Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va. She awarded a total of 112 days off any pris-on sentence Manning gets if he is convicted.

Manning was confined to a windowless cell 23 hours a day, sometimes with no clothing. Brig officials said it was to keep him from hurting himself or others.

The judge said Manning’s confinement was “more rig-orous than necessary.” She added that the conditions “became excessive in rela-tion to legitimate govern-ment interests.”

Manning faces 22 charges,

including aiding the enemy, which carries a maximum of life behind bars. His trial be-gins March 6.

The 25-year-old intelligence analyst sought to have the charges against him thrown out, arguing that the military held him in unduly punishing pretrial conditions after his 2010 arrest.

Jailers at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico have testi-fied they considered Man-ning a suicide risk and that they were only trying to keep him from hurting himself and others by keeping him in a windowless cell for all but one hour a day.

Prosecutors conceded in December that Manning was improperly held on suicide watch for seven days and recommended he get seven days’ credit at sentencing.

Manning is back at Fort Meade for a pretrial hear-ing that includes argu-ments on whether his mo-tivation matters.

Prosecutors want the judge to bar the defense from pro-ducing evidence at Manning’s trial regarding his motive for allegedly leaking hundreds of thousands of secret war logs and diplomatic cables. seen by al-Qaida.

The four-day hearing be-gan Tuesday.

Forgoing a snowy Christ-mas at home with her fam-ily in Fishers, Ind., sophomore Spanish major Bailey Shannon embarked on a journey to Ni-caragua, the poorest country in Central America, according to the CIA Factbook. This 18-day-long trip in the small village El Tanke within Masatepe, Nica-ragua changed her views about missionary work.

“When I got to Nicaragua I saw these huge buildings the church had created but no leadership,” Shannon said. “Missionaries have been going to that area for years, and yet a lot of the lo-cal families didn’t have Bibles, which is crazy.”

Ministerio Cristiano Nuevos Horizontes, meaning New Ho-rizons Christian Ministry, was started by a Nicaraguan refuge and the once-pastor of Shan-non’s home church, BridgeWay Community Church, in Fish-ers. The Nicaraguan church grounds include four buildings built by Shannon’s church. Af-ter seven years of building fa-cilities, the question was raised as to how was it helping the people of Masatepe.

Shannon took the trip with BridgeWay Community Church Associate Pastor Brandon Weid-man and his wife, Hannah, who came to assess how effective the church was serving the local community. Shannon said there were needs not being met that went beyond building facilities, which included things as simple as clean water.

“Our ideas as Americans of going to other countries and helping is good but flawed,” Shannon said. “We’ve made it into a strategic plan to conquer poverty but really it’s building relationships and friendships and learning about their needs. It’s not just giving people stuff.”

Shannon is no stranger to mission work, three years ago she went with her church to Mexico to build houses for people in Tijuana, Mexico. However, she felt guilty for staying in a nice resort while they were there to serve the homeless. While the people were grateful for having homes given and built for them, she realized she and the other missionaries were taking the jobs of the local

construction businesses. “It was hurting them in the long

run,” Shannon said. “We were only meeting short-term needs, not looking at long-term needs.”

In Nicaragua, a plan to create a long-term boost for the commu-nity is underway. Shannon said the only grocery store with a safe supply of food is Wal-Mart owned “Pali,” where none of the profits go to the area but to the American corporation.

One ministry goal that Shan-non wants to see is the opening of local businesses in the village that will make the community more self-sustainable. Bridge-Way Community Church plans to create three businesses that Nicarguans will run and help im-prove their economy.

“There’s a cliché that every Christian missionary opens a coffee shop,” Shannon said, “But I think it would be really neat.”

Shannon lived with locals in the small village and experi-ence their daily lives. She did arts and crafts with girls in the village, cooked with neighbors and explored the area.

“I got to live amongst them,” she said. “Every morning I would wake up to the neigh-bors singing while washing their clothes. I got to know their stories and got more per-sonal with everyone.

“It’s not what can I do, it was more about what is God show-ing me and how can I love these people better.”

During her visit she became friends with 20-year-old Guesell, who at the time was studying to take her entrance exam to go to school to be an orthodontist.

“We are in the same boat,” Shannon said. “Except she lives in a third world country.”

While Guesell herself lives in a developing country, she also wanted to do missionary work

to improve the lives of children who live in poverty, which gave Shannon a new perspective.

“I felt like God rebuked me in that moment,” she said. “Like He was saying, ‘While she lives in a third world country, she has the same hope and a future just like you.’”

While there, Shannon no-ticed there were many prob-lems with alcoholism and that nonexistent family structures were evident in the area. It was accepted for a man to father multiple children with several women and claim no responsibility. Shannon said that it’s common for young women to become pregnant at early ages, as well.

One thing Nuevos Horizon-tes is doing to help young men break away from the pattern is gain influence through a grow-ing youth soccer ministry.

“You don’t know their lives until you go and live with them,” Shannon said. “Then you can know their needs.”

The culture shock Shannon experienced proved to change her perspective. Nicaragua, ac-cording to the CIA Factbook, is slightly smaller than the state of New York. Most Nicaraguans have dirt floors and only run-ning water for cooking and cleaning purposes. Only the wealthy have concrete floors and indoor plumbing.

Christmas didn’t consist of Santa Claus, present-giving and Christmas trees in Nicaragua. One tradition included a ram horn being blown at 4 a.m. the mornings leading up to Christ-mas Eve, or La Noche Buena. Shannon equated La Noche Bue-na with Fourth of July because fireworks and sparklers were lit throughout the night.

New Year’s Eve traditions proved to be significantly dif-ferent than America’s televised traditions. Shannon said people made scarecrows filled with gun powder, which represented the bad happening and negativity of the past year. At midnight they drenched the dolls in gasoline and lit them on fire, causing mas-sive explosions to ring through-out the night.

After the journey, Shannon has Nicaragua in mind as she com-pletes her minors in sustainabil-ity, international resource man-agement and Latin American studies. Returning to Nicaragua to live after she graduates rings as a new possibility.

Sophomore aids Christian ministry in Nicaragua over Winter Break

“I luckily got to audition for the role and was called back and then offered the role,” Sook said. “It was a great example of be-ing in the right place at the right time, honestly.”

The musical stays true to the original 2001 movie “Shrek,” which tells the story of an iso-lated ogre who goes on an ad-venture with a talking donkey to reclaim his land.

The musical brings 19 new songs to the story and gives more back story to several characters, Sook said.

“Those who love the movie will get everything they love about it, but there will be more stuff added to the storyline,” Sook said. “The changes and additions really enhance the storyline and the audience get to explore new parts of the story.”

Sook has lived out of his suit-cases and touring bus since the tour began in Anchorage, Alas-ka. Since then he has travelled across the country only stopping to do shows in some cities.

Sook doesn’t visit each city for long, but he’s getting a firsthand look at America through the win-dow of his tour bus. Sook said he gets to see places he wouldn’t get to if he was in the classroom or

studying on his bed. “It’s hard sometimes,” he said. “I

live and breathe this musical, and sometimes we play eight shows a week in eight different cities. My life is bus, show and back onto the bus to go to another show.

“The days I have off I send ex-ploring the cities with the cast.”

Sook is still enrolled at the Uni-versity of Oklahoma as part of a study abroad program as he con-tinues touring into April.

“Shrek the Musical” is the first show of the Spring Semester at Emens and is free for Ball State students in advance, and $11 at the door.

Freshman theater major Gabbi Boyd is looking forward to see-ing the touring Broadway mu-sical since she doesn’t get the opportunity to see professional musicals very often.

“I was hesitant at first about whether I would like it or not when it first came out a couple years ago but after I heard the music I was sold,” she said.

Rachel Kientz, a sophomore food and hospitality manage-ment major, is going to the show to fill the free time she has at the start of the semester.

“It’s a free show, and I love ‘Shrek’ so I thought it would be a fun way to spend my first Thurs-day night back,” Kientz said.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUCSON, Ariz. — Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband launched a political action committee aimed at curbing gun violence on Tuesday as her Arizona hometown paused to mark the second anniversary of a deadly shooting rampage that left her with severe injuries.

Tucson residents rang bells at 10:11 a.m. — the moment a mentally ill gunman opened fire on Giffords as she met with

constituents in 2011, killing six people and leaving 12 others injured. Mayor Jonathan Rothschild rang a bell at a fire station 19 times — one for each victim.

At the same time, two politicians on opposite ends of the gun debate held dueling weapons buy-backs outside a police station. Such events have been held around the country since the shooting at a Connecticut school that revived the gun control debate.

City Councilman Steve Kozachik asked people to turn in their guns for a $50 gift certificate from Safeway — the grocery store chain that owned the supermarket that was the site of the shooting. He wants

to get guns out of people’s home and bring pressure on politicians to change gun laws.

Giffords also took a prominent role in the gun debate on the anniversary. She and husband Mark Kelly, a former astronaut, wrote in an op-ed published in USA Today that their Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative would help raise money to support greater gun control efforts.

“Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources,” the couple wrote in the column.

The move was hinted at in Kelly’s recent comments that he and Giffords want to

become a prominent voice for gun control efforts.

Last week the couple visited Newtown, Conn., where a gunman opened fire in an elementary school, killing 20 children and six adults in December.

Daniel Hernandez, a former Giffords intern who at the time of the shooting helped save her life by attempting to stop the bleeding before an ambulance arrived, criticized lawmakers for not doing enough since the attack.

“There’s no excuse for standing back and saying we’re not going to do anything this time,” he said. “It’s been far too long and there have been far too many deaths.”

WARSAW, Poland — Polish prosecutors are investigating a Swedish artist’s claim that he used the ashes of Holocaust victims to make

a painting, an act that could carry a prison term.

The artist, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, wrote on the website of the Bryder Gallery in Lund, Sweden, last year that he made a painting using ashes that he took from crematorium furnaces in Majdanek, a former Nazi German death camp located in eastern Poland, on a visit there in 1989.

Spokeswoman Beata Syk-Jankowska said Tuesday that

prosecutors in the eastern city of Lublin have opened an investigation to check whether there is truth to the artist’s claim.

Swedish investigators will be asked for assistance in gathering evidence and questioning the artist, she said.

The small painting, named “Memory Works,” is made of broad vertical brown and gray strokes of brush that leave an impression of a tight group of people.

It could prove very difficult to determine whether von Hausswolff used victims’ ashes in the painting or is staging a publicity stunt.

If he did use the ashes, it would likely be extremely offensive to Holocaust survivors and many others. He also could be charged in Poland with desecrating human ashes and their resting place and face up to eight years in prison.

Between 1941 and 1944, some 150,000 people were held at the Majdanek camp. An estimated 80,000 of them died, most of whom were Jewish.

In 1989, there were still some human ashes remaining in furnaces from the war from the burning of the Nazi’s victims. Removing any ash would be a crime, but there were no security cameras on the site at the time to register such an action, Agnieszka Kowalczyk, a

spokeswoman for the museum at the site said.

The Majdanek museum and the Jewish community in Sweden have condemned von Hausswolff’s claim.

Martin Bryder, owner of the Bryder Gallery in Lund, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday that the painting was exhibited there for some three weeks in November and December. He declined to say anything about the artist or the scandal.

INDIANAPOLIS — Paul George had 29 points and 11 rebounds, and the Indi-ana Pacers held Miami to a season-low point total in an 87-77 win over the Heat on Tuesday night.

George made four 3-point-ers to get the best of his matchup with LeBron James. David West added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Lance Stephenson chipped in with 13 points for the Pacers (21-14), who have won 11 of their

last 13 games.Dwyane Wade scored 30

points and James had 22 points and 10 rebounds for Miami (23-10), which still has the best record in the Eastern Conference.

It was the first time the teams had met since Miami beat the Pacers in six games in the con-ference semifinals last year.

The Pacers outrebounded the Heat 55-36 to help make up for 36 percent shooting.

George had gone 8 for 29 in his previous two games, but he broke out of his slump by making 12 of 27 shots against Miami.

Miami entered the game leading the NBA in field goal percentage, while Indiana led the league in field goal per-

centage defense. The matchup resulted in the Heat scoring only 35 points in the second half, their lowest-scoring half of the season.

Indiana led 38-28 in the second quarter before the Heat rallied late in the half. A 3-pointer by Wade cut Indi-ana’s lead to 38-37, and a put-back by James gave the Heat the lead. The teams were tied at 42 at halftime. Wade scored 23 points in the first half, including 16 in the sec-ond quarter.

The Heat found their of-fensive flow in the early minutes of the second half. A 3-pointer by Mario Chalmers gave the Heat a 51-44 lead and caused the Pacers to call a timeout, but Indiana ral-

lied. Stephenson found West in the corner for a 3-pointer, then Stephenson made a 3-pointer to give the Pacers a 55-53 lead.

George made consecutive 3-pointers to make it 67-57 at the end of the quarter. The Pac-ers made 5 of 8 from 3-point range in the period. Miami scored just 15 points on 7-for-18 shooting in the third and Wade went scoreless.

George opened the fourth with a jumper over James to expand Indiana’s lead to 12, and Ian Mahinmi’s putback bumped it to 14.

Another 3 by George made it 77-60 with about 8 minutes to go, and the Pacers remained comfortably ahead the rest of the way.
