Indiana became the NBA’s seventh team to open 8-0 since 2000 - two more wins than the franchise’s previous best start. And they fol- lowed a familiar script in the battle between last season’s conference runner-ups by domi- nating the glass, dominating the second half and divvying up top honors. Stephenson finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists. George Hill scored 13 points and Roy Hibbert added five more blocks to his NBA-leading total.
