WASHINGTON (AP) — Bub Carrington and Anthony Gill each scored 13 points and helped spark a decisive fourth-quarter run by the Washington Wizards, who barely held on to beat the Indiana Pacers 112-105 on Thursday night.
Kadary Richmond and Jaden Hardy also added 13 points apiece for Washington, which snapped a three-game losing streak on a day when it announced that Trae Young is still at least a week away from making his debut with the team.
Bilal Coulibaly and Tristan Vukcevic each scored 12 points in the first of a two-game series against the same opponent.
Jarace Walker scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Pacers, who fell to 2-3 during a six-game road trip — the longest of the season — that spanned the All-Star break.
Taelon Peter added 16 points but Indiana fell one game behind Washington at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Jay Huff and Ben Sheppard scored 15 each.
Pacers guards Kam Jones (back soreness) and Aaron Nesmith (sprained ankle) left before halftime.
