    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Point guard Jamaal Tinsley was back in the starting lineup against the Jazz after missing the previous five games with a hamstring injury.

    The Pacers were 1-4 without Tinsley, who is fifth in the league in assists, and they missed his offensive leadership.

    "I think in order to push the tempo the way we want the tempo to be, it always helps to have a pure point guard and he might be the only pure point guard we have," O'Brien said. "I think (Andre Owens and Marquis Daniels) did a solid job at different times when he was out.

    "You need a guy that comes across halfcourt and immediately has the instincts to know where everybody on his team is, whether they're behind or in front of him. If somebody gets open, Jamaal is going to get him the basketball."</div>
