Pacers' Jeff Teague: Double-double in Tuesday's loss

Teague scored 20 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT) while adding 10 assists, three rebounds and a steal in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

The double-double was his 15th of the season, tying his previous career high, but Teague arguably wore the goat horns in this one after getting called for a somewhat questionable foul on a Ricky Rubio three-point attempt with 3.4 seconds left in the game, only to watch the Minnesota point guard sink all three free throws to give him team the win. Teague has still scored 20 or more points in four of the last five games, averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 assists, 2.8 boards, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.4 steals over that stretch, and he should stay productive over the final weeks of the season as the Pacers try to clinch a playoff spot.
