(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - The Pacers finished off their four-game road trip with back-to-back wins as they defeated the Washington Wizards 98-95.
Victor Oladipo led the way with a game-high 33 points and added seven rebounds while Myles Turner had a 12 point and 13 rebound double-double. Bojan Bogdanovich added 20 points as the Pacers took over the fourth-seed in the Eastern Conference.
After the game, Oladipo said they aren't satisfied with the fourth seed.
"It sounds okay. We got more. We got more."
Oladipo and the Pacers are just a half-game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers for the third spot in the East and play the second game of a back-to-back tonight when they host the Milwaukee Bucks at 7pm EST. It's the first of three straight home games.
Over the weekend, the Pacers announced they signed free agent forward Trevor Booker to a contract. The 30-year old started the season with the Brooklyn Nets but was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers before being released last week. Booker is averaging 6.6 points and 4.7 rebounds per game this season.
"As we head into the final stretch of the season Trevor will add to the depth of our roster," Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said. "Not only is he a solid team player, his character fit with our team and what we are trying to accomplish."
Booker is expected to be in uniform for tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
