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.
