(Coach) Nate (McMillan) talked to me before the game, told me I was starting, I was going to play big minutes, Robinson said. I thought we brought the energy. We were intense defensively. Were just starting to get our chemistry and weve just got to keep going.After losing two of their last three games, the Pacers were in sync, clicking and gelling on the court.Following Indianas practice on Thursday, George gathered the Pacers for a players-only meeting, addressing some of Indianas shortcomings and kinks that needed worked out. Robinson noted that the Pacers needed to gather and discuss some of the problems that have hampered a team that had a lot of preseason hype.For us, we have to establish who we are. We need to establish our identity, McMillan said. Tonight, I thought they set the tone. We cant go back. Weve been up and down. We have to move forward and build off this game, have intensity on both ends of the floor.Rodney Stuckey scored 18 points, and Al Jefferson and Myles Turner each finished with 16 points.After an 11-0 Nets run in the first quarter, Indiana trailed by seven points.

We need to grind every possession to give ourselves a shot. The guys in the locker room right now are the ones that can fix it.TIP-INS:Brooklyn: The Nets are 0-5 in road games this season when their opponent scores more than 120 points. .

Boston pulled five games ahead of Toronto and dropped the Orioles six games back with 10 games remaining.Its definitely not the position we want to be in, Davis said. We just havent been able to get the runs when we need them and have kind of put ourselves behind the 8-ball right now.The loss kept Baltimore a game behind the Blue Jays for the top AL wild card. The Orioles have lost five of seven, all at home, and scored only nine runs in their last five games.Though the Orioles are struggling, they still control their own fate in the wild card chase.Theyll get it going here, manager Buck Showalter said. If we can get in, I feel real good about this group.Boston trailed 1-0 before rallying against All-Star reliever Brad Brach, who replaced Ubaldo Jimenez (7-12) with two on and one out in the sixth. Aaron Hill hit a dribbler in front of the mound and beat the throw to first base following a miscommunication between Brach and catcher Matt Wieters.That loaded the bases for Jackie Bradley Jr., who struck out on a 3-2 pitch. Sandy Leon then hit a sharp grounder toward Davis, who rushed an off-balance throw that whisked past Brach, allowing two runs to score.Obviously just didnt make a very good throw on it, Davis said. Probably a ball I couldve stayed back on and just gone to the bag, but I just reacted and when I went to throw, it just kind of stuck in my hand.Said Brach: I was just heading over to the bag, and when I picked up (sight) of the ball it was just ccoming a little hard to me and a little bit out of my reach.ddddddddddddBenintendi hit the next pitch over the wall in right field.Its frustrating when they dont get a ball past first base, 90 feet away, and two runs score, Brach said. And obviously I need to make a better pitch on the next batter.Benintendi hit the next pitch over the wall in right field.That all but assured the Red Sox their 12th win in 15 games. They have also won seven of eight on the road.We were given a gift, Boston manager John Farrell said, and we did take every advantage of that extra out.Clay Buchholz (8-10) allowed one run and three hits over seven innings for the Red Sox. Bostons seven-game winning streak, which began with a sweep of the Yankees, is its longest since an identical run early in the 2014 season.After the Red Sox loaded the bases in the first inning but failed to score, the Orioles capitalized on the same situation in the third when Adam Jones hit a sacrifice fly.Boston again filled the bases in the fourth before Leon bounced into a 3-6-1 double play.The next time the Red Sox loaded the bases, two innings later, they finally came through -- albeit with a little help from Davis.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: 2B Dustin Pedroia was back in the lineup after being held out Tuesday to get treatment on his left knee. . 1B Hanley Ramirez is dealing with a sore left shoulder and got the night off.
