<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Owens Takes The Point He doesn't have the decision-making skills of Jamaal Tinsley. He doesn't create as well, either. But Andre Owens is a better defender and the player that coach Jim O'Brien is putting in charge of running the Indiana Pacers' offense for at least the next week while Tinsley recovers from a left hamstring injury. "I have a lot of confidence that he's going to do very well," O'Brien said, "a lot better than people think he's going to be. I think he gives us a defensive lift. ...
