By GREG RAPPAPORTCourtesy nbacompacersAfter trailing the Wizards by double-

digits for much of the second half the Pacersrallied in the fourth quarter But a strongperformance from John Wall derailedIndianas comeback bid as the Pacersdropped their fourth straight game losing111-105 on Wednesday night at the VerizonCenter

Down the stretch the Pacers continuallydug in to rally back but Wall who finishedone assist shy of a triple-double stymiedIndiana on the other end making timelybuckets to keep the Pacers at bay

Its something different every gamesaid Pacers head coach Nate McMillanTheres always one aspect that we cant getover the hump that causes us to lose a gameTonight the rebounding killed us John Wallmade a lot of those long twos and he wasable to come in and control the game

With four minutes left in the gameThaddeus Young had a 3-point look with a

chance to bring the lead down two but itbounced off wide

One minute later the Pacers had anotherchance this time with Paul George takingthe shot and he didnt miss The 3-point shotwas his sixth made three of the night puttingthe Pacers down 96-94 with just 304remaining

On the following Wizards possessionfree throws from Wall turned it into atwo-possession game once more

But Myles Turner who had committedthe foul against Wall connected on a deepcorner jumper to chop the lead back downto two

The home team had an answer for thatas well with Otto Porter Jr hitting on a3-pointer from the left wing to lift theWizards lead to 103-98 with 140 left

From there the Wizards extended theirlead in crunch time using another pair offree throws from Wall to put the game awayfrom good with 332 seconds left

In the first half foul trouble for PaulGeorge led to trouble for the entire teamAfter George took to the bench following

his third foul the Wizards put together a19-8 run to close the half leaving Indianatrailing by 10 at the break

George who led the team in scoring with14 first-half points was the focal point ofthe Pacers offense Without PG on the floorthe Pacers were unable to slow down thetandem of Wall and Bradley Beal whotallied up 13 and 12 points in the first halfrespectively

Beal who turned his ankle in the secondquarter stayed in the game until halftimebut remained on the bench in the second

Out of the half things looked as if thingsmight take a downturn for the Pacers whofell victim to another Wizards run But a3-pointer from George mdash who finished witha team-high 34 mdash with under five minutesleft in the third tightened the game to just athree-point Wizards lead

Washington feeling its lead slip puttogether a quick 10-3 run to regain a double-digit advantage in the game By the end ofthe third quarter the Wizards led by 11 andWall nearly had his triple double with 25points nine rebounds and eight assists

With 12 minutes to play all of thepressure was on the Pacers who needed totake advantage of Washingtons bench toclimb back into it

After the Wizards got the first points ofof the period the Pacers used a 5-0 run butcame up short on a number of offensivepossessions that could have taken the hostslead below five

But from there the Pacers continued todutifully chip away at the lead with a pairof Paul George free throws bringing thescore to a 91-86 Wizards lead with sixminutes remaining Although they remainedin the contest until late Walls all-aroundperformance ended up sealing the game forWashington

Despite the offensive eruption fromGeorge Indiana was outshot from the field(48-44) and outrebounded by 20 Therebounding discrepancy which included15-5 on the offensive glass gave theWizards second chance opportunities whichthey used to close the Pacers out onWednesday night
