Pacers 112, Pistons 104 (OT)

Down by 25 in the second quarter, Indiana still had plenty of time.

"We needed a little reminder of what we are playing for here," coach Frank Vogel said.

The Pacers responded with one of the most impressive comebacks of the NBA season, catching Detroit in the fourth quarter and eventually pulling away in overtime for a victory Saturday night.

Indiana leads Miami by 3½ games in the race for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Paul George had 30 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Pacers.

"We knew this was going to be a long game," George said. "We knew we had a chance to come back and we just had to take small steps. We had to chip away and get this win."

Josh Smith scored 23 points for the Pistons, who lost star center Andre Drummond in the first quarter to a neck injury. Drummond was able to walk off with some assistance and was a bit sore after the game.

"Just a little bit of a scare," Drummond said. "It's hard for me to make moves left and right sometimes, but it shouldn't be anything that should stop me from the next few days."

Evan Turner added 20 points for the Pacers, and David West scored six of his 15 points in overtime.

Detroit led 56-31 in the second quarter but couldn't hold on. The Pistons trail Atlanta by five games for the final playoff spot in the East.

It was the second-biggest comeback victory in the NBA this season, according to STATS. Golden State rallied from 27 down against Toronto on Dec. 3.

"Really proud of our guys," Vogel said. "I did not like the deficit we built especially in that first half, but we stayed with the game and came back with better energy."

Drummond, Detroit's promising second-year center, left with 6:32 remaining in the first quarter. He appeared to be hit in the head inadvertently by the Pacers' Roy Hibbert during a scramble near the basket.

"I got my hand on the ball and the ball rolled between my legs," Drummond said. "I reached down and came up and I ended up, my head hit Roy Hibbert in his thigh and sent a shock throughout my whole body."

Drummond stayed down through an entire timeout. A stretcher was eventually brought onto the court, but he was able to get up and walk off toward the tunnel.

Even without him, Detroit dominated the first half. A putback dunk by Jonas Jerebko pushed the lead to 25, and it was 60-41 at halftime.

Wizards 101, Nets 94

John Wall scored 33 points, Drew Gooden got 11 of his 21 in the final quarter and Washington overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Brooklyn and move past the Nets for fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

Gooden's 3-pointer broke a 94-94 tie with 2:37 left. Trevor Ariza then scored off an offensive rebound with 44 seconds left and Wall capped it with dunk.

The Nets, who went the final 6:22 without a field goal, were led by Marcus Thornton's 19 points. Joe Johnson added 16 and Paul Pierce had 15.

Trailing 82-72 early in the fourth, the Wizards went on a 15-4 run keyed by Gooden (8 of 11 from the field) and Al Harrington.

Washington completed a sweep of the season series (3-0).

Grizzlies 103, 76ers 77

The 76ers had a loss for the record book.

Mike Conley scored 19 points and Zach Randolph had 14 to lead Memphis to a win, sending the 76ers to a franchise-tying 20th straight loss.

The Sixers can set the team mark with a loss Monday night at Indiana.

The Sixers also lost 20 straight games from Jan. 9, 1973-Feb. 11, 1973, in a 9-73 season. The NBA record for consecutive losses in a season is 26 set by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.

That mark just may be next: The Sixers (15-51) play only one team over the next six games with a losing record, the Knicks on Friday, and they are on a six-game winning streak.

Michael Carter-Williams led the Sixers with 23 points and Thaddeus Young had 20.

"This is not slit-your-wrist time. This is not even close to that," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said before the game. "This is about building a program and understanding the short-term pain for a lot of long-term gain.

Bulls 94, Kings 87

Joakim Noah had 23 points and 11 rebounds, Taj Gibson scored seven of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and Chicago held off Sacramento.

Mike Dunleavy added 16 and DJ Augustin 12 for the Bulls.

Isaiah Thomas led the Kings with 26 and DeMarcus Cousins had 25.

Both teams struggled on offense, with the Bulls shooting 40 percent and the Kings 37 percent.

The Bulls, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference, improved to 3-2 on their six-game homestand. The Kings are 2-4 on their seven-game road trip.

Cousins hit a layup with 1:01 left to cut the Bulls' lead to 88-85.

Gibson responded with a jumper and the Bulls made four of six free throws to seal the win.

Hawks 97, Nuggets 92

Paul Millsap had 24 points and 11 rebounds, Jeff Teague added 15 points and 10 assists and Atlanta rallied to beat Denver and earn its third straight win.

Kenneth Faried finished with 25 points and Wilson Chandler scored 12 for the Nuggets.

Kyle Korver, who hit a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to make it 96-92, scored 18 points and Pero Antic added 16 for Atlanta.

Ty Lawson, Denver's leading scorer this season, handed out 11 assists, but went 0 for 12 from the field and finished with two points.

The win kept the Hawks 3½ games ahead of the Knicks for the eighth and final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
