The Indiana Pacers continued their winning streak with a 104-98 victory over the Washington Wizards. Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 24 points and 10 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton added 22 points. The Wizards, who are currently in last place in the Eastern Conference, were led by Justin Champagnie and Alex Sarr, who each scored 20 points. Washington’s backup forward Anthony Gill left the game with a hamstring injury.
The key moment in the game came when Siakam made a crucial basket to give the Pacers the lead late in the fourth quarter. Aaron Nesmith and Myles Turner also hit important 3-pointers to secure the win for Indiana. The Pacers took advantage of their free throw opportunities, making 29 of 37 attempts, while the Wizards struggled with just 11 of 15 from the line.
With the win, the Pacers are one step closer to clinching the No. 4 seed in the playoffs and homecourt advantage for the first round. The Wizards, on the other hand, suffered their third straight loss and are on track for one of the worst records in franchise history. The Pacers will face the Cleveland Cavaliers next, while the Wizards will host the Philadelphia 76ers.
