The host Los Angeles Lakers took down the Indiana Pacers on Friday, 108 - 96. Los Angeles (16 - 31) snapped a five - game losing streak by taking down Indiana on Friday. One of the keys to the Lakers' success was a strong performance on the glass, as Los Angeles finished with a 51 - 37 advantage in the rebounding column. As has often been the case for the Lakers this season, it was the bench, rather than the starters, that led the offensive charge for the team. Sixth man Lou Williams scored a team - high 27 points while knocking down four three - pointers. For the team, three - point shooting was a strength, as they knocked down 14 shots from deep. Indiana (22 - 20) had been 7 - 1 in its previous eight games before falling short in Los Angeles. The Pacers fell behind early in the second half after being unable to run with the Lakers' strong three - point shooters. All-Star forward Paul George led the team with 21 points, also pulling down six rebounds. The team was unable to contend on the boards, however, with center Myles Turner pulling down only four rebounds on the night. Big man Al Jefferson, though, came through with 20 points off the bench. The Pacers will play in Utah on Saturday, while the Lakers will visit Dallas on Sunday.
