Pacers Bounce Back, Top Lakers 110-100

Last updated on Tuesday, March 20, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - The Indiana Pacers ended their two-game skid as they knocked off the Los Angeles Lakers 110-100 on Monday night.

Myles Turner led the Pacers with 21 points and seven rebounds while Victor Oladipo scored 13 of his 20 points in the second half and added four rebounds and three steals.

The Pacers shot over 49 percent from the field and forced 13 LA turnovers.

"We did a better job defensively getting back and keeping them in front of us," Pacers head coach Nate McMillan said. "We were making shots and that helps, too."

Kyle Kuzma led the Lakers with a game-high 27 points while Brook Lopez added 23 points and eight rebounds.

The Pacers remain a half game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third seed in the Eastern Conference.

Indiana gets back on the court when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday in the game that was postponed from February 7 due to a leak in the Smoothie King Center roof.
