    I think the play that made the difference was Cato's slam on the break from Francis. That got the crowd into it and everybody was hoppin'

    Yeah you can say that again. I think that was O'Neal Cato dunked on. I was at the game and the crowd was one of the best of the season. Wasn't big but it was loud.

    It was great cuz O'Neal was a monster who was blocking everything inside until finally Cato shut him up.

    The big play to me, in regulation time, was Cato getting smacked in the head with the elbow allowing the Rockets to get the ball back, otherwise The Pacers would have had the ball with a 3 point lead and around 45 seconds left.

    That was one of the things that contributed to the win, yet doesn't show up in the box score. Cato has oftentimes (deservedly) been blasted for his lack of hustle, heart, etc., but in that instance he stayed with the play and continued to harass the rebounder (O'Neal?) until he swung the elbow.
