The Indiana Pacers returned to winning ways Saturday with a dramatic 100-99 victory over the Washington Wizards. Four players scored in double-figures for the Pacers who had lost four of their previous five games. With the victory, Indiana moved to within a game of Charlotte for sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

Starring for Indiana in this critical road win was Paul George. He scored 38 points, including the game-winning free throws with three seconds left. He shot 13 of 22 from the field against the Wizards and converted all eight of his free throw attempts. George has been playing some excellent basketball of late, averaging 36.5 points over his last two games.

The Spurs defeated the Pacers, 106-92, in their first meeting this season. The Pacers have lost 15 of their last 16 games against the Spurs.
