OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 21 (UPI) -- A steal, layup and free throw by George Hill in the closing seconds Friday gave the Indiana Pacers a 94-91 victory over Golden State.

The Pacers evened their western road trip at 1-1, next stop Los Angeles for a Sunday meeting with the Lakers.

Indiana maintained a small lead through most of the fourth quarter, but Monta Ellis tied it for the Warriors on a jumper with 48 seconds to go and the Warriors regained possession after Darren Collison missed for the Pacers.

Ellis was called on to attempt a game-winning shot, but Hill stole the ball from him and drove to a layup with 2 seconds remaining. Stephen Curry fouled Hill on the play and Hill's free throw accounted for the game's final point.

After a time out, Curry missed a 3-point attempt that would have sent the game into overtime.

Danny Granger scored 26 points for the Pacers and David West had 18. Hill finished with 14.

Ellis scored 25 to lead Golden State, which returned home from a four-game road swing on which it went 2-2.
