The new look Pacers handed the defending champion Celtics their first loss of the season, with Indiana taking the game 95-79 in front of a full house at Conseco Fieldhouse on Saturday night, the Associated Press is reporting.

"I certainly think the fans saw a full-out effort for 48 minutes," Indiana coach Jim O'Brien said. "Nobody would say that the Indiana Pacers left anything on the court."

Danny Granger, who just signed an extension, certainly did not.

Granger lost his two front teeth in the fourth quarter when Paul Pierce fell on him while they were diving on the floor after a loose ball.

"It was a hell of a hustle play," O'Brien said. "He pressured up on Pierce, got a deflection, dove face first. I went out to say, 'great job,' he smiled at me and he didn't have any teeth."
