Frank Vogel heaps praise on Paul George, Lance Stephenson

Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel has lavished praise on Paul George and Lance Stephenson following their 89-74 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The duo combined to score 43 points as the Pacers extended their winning run to three games, and Vogel was eager to compliment Stephenson for his impressive start to the season.

"Paul George and Lance Stephenson are guys who easily drove the ship tonight," the 40-year-old told reporters.

"Lance has been our most efficient offensive player this year. He has taken a giant step. I want to see him keep it going. It's in his DNA to be aggressive."

The Pacers travel to Detroit to face the Pistons in their next game on Tuesday night.
