INDIANAPOLIS -- Mike Dunleavy knew the New Orleans Hornets didnt want Danny Granger to beat them, so he took care of it himself. Replicas Ryan Mathews Jersey . Dunleavys tip-in of Grangers miss at the buzzer gave the Indiana Pacers a 94-93 victory on Monday night. "I could see Chris Paul going to help out on Danny, so I just took off to the basket," Dunleavy said. "Luckily, the ball ended up in a perfect position for me to tip it in." The Hornets had taken the lead on a jumper by David West with 3.9 seconds left. Grangers 21-footer rattled and rolled around the rim, and Dunleavy was uncontested for the rebound under the hoop. The officials reviewed the play and the basket stood. Granger drew the extra attention because he led the Pacers with 27 points. Darren Collison scored 18 points and James Posey added 15 in their first game against the team that traded them in the off-season. Collison acknowledged that playing New Orleans gave him personal incentive, but winning was his main focus. "Thats all we need to do is to get the victory," he said. "We know how tough the playoff race is ahead of us. Its a long season. In order for us to stay on top of our game, we need to start winning some games down the stretch." Posey made 5-of-7 three-pointers, with several coming in clutch situations that changed momentum. "That is James Posey," Collison said, with emphasis on the name. "Thats all Ive got to say." Poseys outburst came in 19 minutes. "I just try to stay ready whenever coach calls and try to take advantage of those situations, and I was able to get some good looks," he said. Dunleavy scored just eight points on 3-for-11 shooting. Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Hornets, who lost their sixth straight road game. West scored 18 points and Paul added 15. The Hornets said they executed poorly on defence in the final seconds. They had a foul to give and never used it. "Weve always felt this roster was built for times like this," New Orleans coach Monty Williams said. "Im saying tough stuff, Chris (Paul) is saying the tough stuff. We need other guys to step up." Paul missed a jumper as time expired on the shot clock in the final minute, but West scored on a putback and was fouled with 30 seconds left. He made the free throw to put New Orleans up 91-89. Indiana responded with a three-pointer by Posey on an assist from Granger to take a 92-91 lead with 16 seconds left. "Ive got to give Danny credit," Posey said. "He made an extra pass. Weve got a great group of guys that are very unselfish." Paul drove on T.J. Ford and found West near the free throw line, where he made a jumper with 3.9 seconds left to give the Hornets a 93-92 lead before Dunleavys game winner. Indiana led by as many as 13 points late in the first half before the Hornets rallied to cut their deficit to six points. Collison found Posey beyond the left elbow, and Posey drained a three-pointer to give Indiana a 52-43 lead at the break. The Pacers made 6-of-12 three-pointers in the first half. New Orleans inched closer early in the third quarter. Paul hesitated, then drained a three-pointer that cut Indianas lead to 62-61 and caused the Pacers to call a timeout. The Hornets finally took the lead on a pair of free throws by Paul with 31 seconds left in the period. Collison began to take control midway through the fourth quarter. He made a jumper to give Indiana an 81-77 lead. A short time later, he got a steal, then assisted on a dunk by Granger. On the other end, Collisons rebound ignited a fast break that eventually led to a dunk by Roy Hibbert that gave Indiana an 85-79 lead. New Orleans came right back with a run that included a three-pointer by Jarrett Jack. A pair of free throws by West gave New Orleans an 86-85 lead, and neither team led by more than two points the rest of the way. "You have to take your hats off to the Pacers," Jack said. "They kept fighting. But if we dont put ourselves in that hole in the first half and at the beginning of the game, when we are supposed to jump on teams like we normally do, then we dont get put in that position." Indiana, which already had wins over Denver, Miami and the Los Angeles Lakers this season, talked in the locker-room like a team that expects to beat top competition. "Were still trying to get back to .500 and keep moving on up," Posey said. "Today was another step. "We know if we play our style of basketball for four quarters, we always give ourselves that chance to win. Weve just got to keep going out there and working hard and just keep getting better."

BEIJING - Mitsunobu Akano, a Japanese national, was executed on Tuesday morning after he was convicted of attempting to smuggle drugs from China to Japan in 2006, announced the Supreme Peoples Court (SPC). The courts had clear and irrefutable evidence of drug smuggling and the death sentence was handed down and carried out in line with Chinese law, the SPC said in an announcement on Tuesday confirming the execution. Related readings: FM: Japan drug smuggler execution not to affect ties Drug smuggler to be executed on Monday Akano became the first Japanese citizen to be executed by China since the two countries normalized diplomatic relations in 1972. According to an official from the Japanese Embassy in China, the Consulate of Japan in Shenyang, capital city of Northeast Chinas Liaoning province, also received a letter from the provincial government on April 1, stating that another three Japanese drug traffickers will be executed this Thursday. The named convicts are: Teruo Takeda, 67, from Nagoya city; Hironori Ukai, 48, from Gifu prefecture; and Katsuo Mori, 67, of Fukushima prefecture. The official, who withheld his name, told China Daily the embassy staff, including the ambassador, feel sorry and regretful about the execution, yet they hope Japanese people will understand that the execution is legal punishment for drug smuggling in China. Drug smuggling is a severe crime in Japan and other countries. Each country has its own punishment for it, including the death penalty. We hope no Japanese commits the crime any more, the official said, adding: I dont think the execution will have any harm on the Japan-China relationship. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the execution will deter drug smuggling. The legitimate rights and interests of the people concerned have been fully guaranteed, Jiang said. We hope this case will not affect the normal development of China-Japan relations. Accoording to Japanese media, Japanese Prime Minister Hatoyama, speaking on Tuesday before receiving confirmation of the execution, said: It is regrettable from the Japanese point of view, even if the legal systems are different. Vernon Davis Jersey. But there isnt much that Japan can do about this. The 66-year-old Akano was arrested in September 2006 when he was meeting someone at an airport in Dalian, Liaoning province, attempting to smuggle 2.5 kg of stimulant drugs to Japan. In June 2008, the Dalian Intermediate Peoples Court handed down a death sentence to Akano. He appealed, but the High Peoples Court of Liaoning upheld it in 2009 and it was later finalized with the SPCs approval of the execution. At the beginning of 2007, the SPC started to review every death penalty case rather than allow lower courts to issue the final judgment, a move intended to reduce executions. Zhu Wenqi, an expert on international criminal law from Renmin University of China, said this is a legal enforcement based on Chinese law. Although my academic view is against the death penalty, I dont see any illegitimacy here, as it is the enforcement of a countrys law, Zhu said. Chinas Criminal Law stipulates that everyone is equal before the law and that criminals should all be punished according to the law, regardless of their nationality. The Criminal Law stipulates that people trafficking more than 50 grams of heroin can receive death sentences. Last year a British drug smuggler was executed and the case received widespread attention both within China and in Britain. Akmal Shaikh, a 53-year-old British national, was executed by lethal injection last December in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, after he was convicted of smuggling a large quantity of drugs into China. Drug crimes are universally recognized as serious criminal offenses and have a severe negative social impact, said a statement from the SPC regarding the execution of Shaikh. ' ' '
