Warriors 98, Pacers 96: Klay Thompson hit the go-ahead basket with 0.6 seconds remaining to help Golden State escape with a win in Indiana.

Thompson took a Draymond Green pass and coolly knocked down a turnaround 12-footer from the baseline to help the Warriors hand the Pacers just their fourth home loss of the season. Thompson led Golden State with 25 points while Stephen Curry added 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists.

David West had 27 points and Paul George added 26 points and 12 rebounds for Indiana, which saw its five-game winning streak come to an end. Roy Hibbert and Lance Stephenson added 12 points apiece in defeat.

Curry's nine-point, four-rebound, four-assist opening quarter helped lead the Warriors to a 25-21 advantage after one. Golden State retained the lead in his absence to open the second, and he returned to set up baskets by David Lee and Andre Iguodala to send the Warriors into the intermission with a 48-42 advantage.

Indiana rallied to take the lead on Stephenson's driving layup with 7:29 remaining in the third, but Green and Harrison Barnes connected from long range on back-to-back possessions as Golden State carried a 73-70 advantage into the fourth. Thompson scored nine straight Warriors points early in the fourth to stretch the lead to double digits, but the Pacers charged back with a 12-0 run fueled by a pair of Hibbert jumpers to draw even with 2:13 remaining.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Golden State's reserves outscored Indiana's bench 34-11. ... The Warriors connected on 10-of-20 attempts from 3-point range, while the Pacers were just 3-of-16 from beyond the arc. ... Golden State improved to 3-2 on its six-game Eastern Conference road trip, which concludes Wednesday in Boston.
