Spencer Dinwiddie notched 26 points, and Austin\u00a0Reaves chipped in 25 points and eight assists, lifting the Lakers (39-32) to a season-high score without D&#8217;Angelo Russell, who was sidelined due to illness. The team now braces for a demanding six-game road trip starting Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Lakers secured a previous victory over the Pacers in the in-season tournament title game, that win did not count toward the regular-season standings. The two teams are scheduled to face off again in Indianapolis on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Siakam led the Pacers (40-32) with 36 points and 12 rebounds, supported by Myles Turner&#8217;s 20 points. Despite entering the game with five wins in their last seven outings, Indiana is now 2-1 on their current five-game road trip and prepares for a matchup against the Clippers in L.A. on Monday. Pacers&#8217; standout Tyrese Haliburton managed 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting alongside 10 assists, bouncing back from a recent shooting slump.<\/p>\n<p>T.J. McConnell contributed 17 points, Andrew Nembhard added 15, and Doug McDermott scored 14 for Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>The Pacers seized an early 36-30 lead after the first quarter, but the Lakers responded with a strong 42-point second period to take a 72-68 advantage at halftime. Los Angeles continued their offensive onslaught with a 44-point third quarter, extending their lead to 116-99.<\/p>\n<p>Indiana staged a late rally in the fourth quarter, narrowing the deficit to 127-123 with 5:33 remaining after a three-pointer from Aaron Nesmith. The Lakers maintained control, holding a 140-131 lead with 1:45 left after a crucial 9-4 run. Although Turner&#8217;s three-pointer briefly revived the Pacers&#8217; hopes, Davis&#8217; clutch floater secured a 142-134 lead for the Lakers with 55.7 seconds remaining. Despite the Pacers trimming the margin to 148-145 with 21.6 seconds left, the Lakers closed out the game to secure the victory.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z4ACNE8Njy4?si=YPCP6MmY46qisjLG\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Davis contributed 36 points and 16 rebounds, while LeBron James added 26 points and 10 assists, propelling the Los Angeles Lakers to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":480971,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[16971,16970],"news_category":[16706,16715,14084],"gn_keywords":[18386,17645],"acf":{"announce":"Despite their great shooting, Los Angeles won by just five points against Indiana","video":["video"]},"rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_robots":"","rank_math_canonical_url":"","rank_math_facebook_title":"","rank_math_facebook_description":"","rank_math_facebook_image":"","rank_math_twitter_title":"","rank_math_twitter_description":"","rank_math_twitter_image":"","rank_math_snippet_shortcode":"","rank_math_primary_category":"","rankmath_seo":{"focus_keyword":"","description":"","title":"","canonical_url":"","robots":"","facebook":{"title":"","description":"","image":""},"twitter":{"title":"","description":"","image":""}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/480970"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=480970"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/480970\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":480973,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/480970\/revisions\/480973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/480971"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=480970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=480970"},{"taxonomy":"news_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_category?post=480970"},{"taxonomy":"gn_keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/7sport.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/gn_keywords?post=480970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
