George Hill: 'Toronto Raptors brought the pressure'

Indiana Pacers guard George Hill admits that the Toronto Raptors were the better side in their 95-82 defeat to the Atlantic Division leaders.

George Hill has said that the Toronto Raptors applied pressure before the Indiana Pacers could hit their stride.

The Pacers have been strong in the second half throughout the 2013-14 season, but could not match the Raptors in their 95-82 defeat last night.

The guard told reporters: "They played better than us tonight. Normally we come out and have a tremendous third and fourth quarter, but tonight, they hit first.

"We're normally a team that hits first. We're a smashmouth team. They came in and brought the pressure and turned us over more than we're normally getting turned over. They initiated it."

Despite the loss, the Pacers remain the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
