The Washington Wizards had a rough game against the Indiana Pacers the last time these two teams played, as the Pacers were able to dominate on their way to a 93-66 win. The Wizards weren't able to score over 20 points in any of the four quarters thanks to poor shooting from them and solid defense by Indiana.
David West was the Pacers' best player on the night, scoring 20 points and grabbing eight rebounds. Shooting guard Lance Stephenson had a double-double in this one, scoring 11 points and pulling down 10 boards.
The hosts got the win despite their star small forward Paul George having one of his worst shooting performances of the season. He scored just eight points after making just two of the 14 shots he put up. He did contribute in other ways, though, by adding 14 rebounds and six assists.
The Wizards just couldn't buy a bucket from anywhere on the court. They shot just 32 percent from the field and only scored a total of 29 points in the second half. A big reason for their shooting woes was the performance of their two starting guards. John Wall made just 4 of his 15 shot attempts, while Bradley Beal made 6 of his 18 field goal tries. Beal led the Wizard in scoring with 17 points, while Nene added 12 points and 5 rebounds.
