Indiana Pacers win, tighten grip on No. 3 playoff seeding - Louisville Courier-Journal

Danny Granger scored 24 points, and Roy Hibbert had 15 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to their sixth straight win, 102-97 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.

The Pacers won their fifth straight road game and 10th of 11 overall and seem to be hitting their stride as the postseason nears. The Pacers play their final four games at home and, barring a complete collapse, should earn the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Andre Iguodala scored 23 points for the Sixers in their third straight loss as they continue their late-season fade.

• Knicks 118, Celtics 110: Carmelo Anthony had 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his second career triple-double, and host New York made 19 3-pointers to keep alive its Atlantic Division title hopes.

• Grizzlies 91, Timberwolves 84: Rudy Gay had 28 points and nine rebounds to help lead visiting Memphis .

• Pistons 116, Cavaliers 77: Brandon Knight had 28 points and seven assists, and host Detroit routed Cleveland in one of the NBA’s most lopsided games of the season.
