Pacers can't stop Roy, lose sixth straight
END RESULT
They hung around all night, put themselves in position and stayed there. And when the Pacers tied it 83-all on Luther Head's jumper with 7:40 remaining, it appeared like maybe they'd make it over the hump. Instead, they tumbled downhill as Portland rode the hot hand of Brandon Roy (29 points) down the stretch and pulled away for a 102-91 victory before 11,487 fans Wednesday in Conseco Fieldhouse.
IMPACT
In their first game since losing leading scorer Danny Granger for 4-6 weeks with a foot injury, the Pacers battled throughout but ultimately couldn't finish the game at either end of the floor and wound up losing their sixth in a row and 10th in 11 games to fall to 6-13 overall, 4-6 at home. Portland snapped a three-game losing streak, beat the Pacers for the third time in a row and improved to 14-9.
