END RESULT

Danny Granger is playing like a guy trying to make up for lost time.

Determined to finish an otherwise frustrating season on a positive note, Granger scored at least 30 points for the third consecutive game, producing 11 of his 31 in the fourth quarter as the Pacers bounced the Washington Wizards 99-82 Wednesday before 12,504 in Conseco Fieldhouse.

Though starting center Roy Hibbert missed the game with a bruised jaw, Josh McRoberts stepped into the lineup and produced the second double-double of his career with 14 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes, providing much-needed energy to a team playing its third game in four nights.

IMPACT

The Pacers won their fourth straight game, their longest streak since a five-gamer in early November, to improve to 26-46. They also won their season-best sixth in a row at home, where they're 18-16. They also handed the Wizards their 13th consecutive loss, tying their franchise record. Washington fell to 21-49 overall, 9-26 on the road.
