Danny Granger scored 25 of his 33 points in the second half, as Indiana won its eighth straight home game, 102-95, over the Sacramento Kings. Troy Murphy added 19 points and 13 rebounds for the Pacers, who have won six of their last seven overall. Roy Hibbert and Earl Watson both totaled 10 points, as Indiana rallied from a 15-point deficit in the second quarter. Tyreke Evans returned after missing five games for the Kings. The rookie guard had 17 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds, but also had seven turnovers as the Kings lost for a fifth straight time. Evans had been out due to a concussion he suffered in a loss to Milwaukee on March 19. "We didn't come out with the same energy we had in the first half," Evans said. "They were the home team and took advantage of it." Jason Thompson ended with 18 points and 11 rebounds, while Beno Udrih also scored 18 for Sacramento. Carl Landry chipped in 17 points and 10 boards. The Kings are 0-4 on a five-game road trip, which finishes Wednesday at Minnesota. Omri Casspi (virus) sat out for the Kings. |
