The Indiana Pacers (31 - 40) defeated the Washington Wizards (40 - 32) 103 - 101 on Wednesday at the Verizon Center in Washington. Despite being down 76 - 70 coming out of the third quarter, the Pacers played with some urgency in the fourth, out - scoring the Wizards 33 - 25 to finish with the two - point victory on the road in Indianapolis. This marked a huge win for the Pacers, who are now tied with the Boston Celtics for the eighth and final projected playoff seed in the Eastern Conference standings. With both the Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets just a half game behind the Pacers though, it should be a very tight race all the way till the end of the regular season. The Wizards, on the other hand, have now lost four straight, but still comfortably hold a four and a half game lead over the Milwaukee Bucks for the fifth spot in the East. George Hill was the savior for the Pacers though, as he made a layup with just two seconds left in the game to give them the two - point win. Along with the clutch bucket, he went off for a team - high of 29 points (12 - 24 FG, 0 - 4 3Pt, 5 - 5 FT), while also adding seven rebounds and nine assists. He continues to be the most consistent player on this team and is averaging 20 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists, while shooting 54 percent from the field during his last seven games. Hill received some help from C.J. Miles though, who added 16 points (5 - 10 FG, 3 - 8 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) as the starter at shooting guard. After shooting just 19 percent (3 - 16 FG) from the field in Monday's game against the Rockets, it was good to see Miles get back on the right track Wednesday. Coming up with a double - double, David West finished with 10 points (5 - 9 FG, 0 - 2 FT) and 11 rebounds. Solomon Hill was the other starter in double figures with 13 points (3 - 8 FG, 2 - 3 3Pt, 5 - 6 FT) as well. John Wall did everything he could to keep the Wizards in this game, going 11 - for - 21 from the field and 2 - for - 4 from the three - point line to score a game - high of 34 points, to go along with six assists and two steals as well. After shooting less than 40 percent during his last three games, Wall finally got his shot dialed in, which he'll need to continue to do if the Wizards want to make some noise in the playoffs. Marcin Gortat had a nice showing as well, posting 16 points (7 - 10 FG, 2 - 2 FT), seven rebounds and two blocked shots. He's now pushed his season averages to 12 points and 9 rebounds on the year. Both Nene Hilario and Rasual Butler were the other two Wizards to finish in double figures. Nene had 10 points (3 - 8 FG, 4 - 6 FT) and five rebounds, while Butler had 10 points (3 - 6 FG, 1 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and six rebounds off the bench. The Pacers' next game will be on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, while the Wizards will be at home against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.
