    The Pacers didn't need Danny Granger's help to beat the New York Knicks on Sunday.

    They wouldn't have won the rematch without him.

    Granger, who missed the win at New York with strep throat, hit the game-winning jumper with 0.3 seconds left and scored 26 points in Indiana's 119-117 victory on Tuesday night.

    Indiana passed the ball inbounds with 7.8 seconds left. Granger worked the clock, drove right on Shawne Williams, pulled up and connected on a 17-foot fadeaway.

    Williams, a former Pacer who guarded Granger many times in practice, anticipated Granger's first move.

    "I tried to jump on his right hand, but he gave me a move," he said. "You just got to get into him and make that shot more difficult than it was. I feel like he got too good of a look at the basket. He's going to make those eight times of out 10."
