INDIANAPOLIS, March 1 (Ticker) -- All-Star Rashard Lewis and the Seattle SuperSonics shook off their worst performance of the season.

Lewis scored 30 points, including 10 in the final five minutes, as the SuperSonics staged a late rally to edge the Indiana Pacers, 101-93.

"(Lewis) really had it going tonight," Seattle coach Nate McMillan said. "He was 6-for-7 in the first half and he felt like he had a mismatch defensively, so we got him the ball in the second half. He made good decisions when he got it and knocked down some big baskets for us."

"Usually, teams try to put a big guy on me and beat me up," the 6-10 Lewis said. "If he's big, I move out to the wing and use my quickness, and if they're small, I post up. I just try to exploit the defense."

On Sunday, the SuperSonics shot a season-worst 29 percent and recorded their fewest points of the campaign in a 99-73 setback at Milwaukee. Lewis scored just nine points on 4-of-14 shooting in the loss.

"We didn't play together as team against Milwaukee," Lewis said. "We were playing their record and not them as an NBA team. We had a team meeting and we came out trying to play the type of basketball that got us here."

In this one, Lewis connected on 14-of-19 shots, including a 3-pointer with 4:54 remaining after Indiana took its biggest lead at 89-84. After teammate Vladimir Radmanovic nailed a shot from the arc, Lewis sank another 3-pointer for a 93-89 lead with 3:47 to play.

"We had a defensive lapse and Seattle made us pay," Pacers guard Anthony Johnson said. "They are the type of team that takes advantage of defensive lapses, usually by busting you in the head with threes. That's what happened in the fourth quarter tonight."

The lead was 95-92 when Indiana forward Jermaine O'Neal was whistled for goaltending on a jump hook by Lewis with 1:21 remaining, and the Pacers managed just one point thereafter.

Indiana played nearly the entire game without coach Rick Carlisle, who was ejected for acquiring two quick technical fouls. Carlisle picked up his first technical with 7:40 left in the opening quarter for arguing a foul called on O'Neal and was tossed 24 seconds later for coming onto the court to protest fouls that were not called against the SuperSonics.

"I think Rick just finally said, 'Enough is enough,'" said Pacers veteran Austin Croshere, who finished with 15 points on 5-of-6 shooting. "With missed calls that were that obvious and were against Jermaine, he just kind of lost it. I think he felt like he had to protect his player."

Stephen Jackson scored 28 points for the Pacers, who shot just 42 percent (30-of-71) and allowed Seattle to connect on 53 percent (38-of-72).

Seattle held a 32-20 lead after one quarter but Indiana pulled within 53-48 at the break and took a 73-72 edge into the final period.
