INDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) -- The Indiana Pacers hope to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season and extend their home winning streak to 11 games tonight when they host the Washington Wizards.
Indiana has lost back-to-back games for the first time since November 22-25 and has not dropped three straight since last March during the lockout-shortened season. The Pacers boast a 13-2 mark in their first season at Conseco Fieldhouse and have not lost here since a 107-99 defeat to Detroit on November 25. Washington bounced back from a trio of devastating losses with Tuesday's 117-89 dismantling of Toronto. Aaron Williams scored a season-high 17 points off the bench to lead seven players in double figures as the Wizards snapped their three-game losing streak with a terrific team effort against the Raptors. Washington had suffered back-to-back losses to the league-worst Chicago Bulls before a heartbreaking 130-129 double-overtime loss at Cleveland on Saturday. The Wizards have lost eight in a row to the Pacers, including a 105-83 setback in their first visit here on November 13.
