The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers, 122-115, at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.

The Lakers (41-30) and the Pacers (33-38) played a tight contest where Los Angeles enjoyed a strong start -- that was enough to give the Lakers the victory. The Lakers jumped out to a 36-28 lead following the first quarter and that was enough to settle a differential that was never changed. Both the second and third quarter ended in a tie (28-28 and 32-32, respectively), so the Pacers did a good job of keeping the game close with only 12 minutes left on the clock. The Pacers actually won the final quarter by a one-point differential, but that was not enough to mount a comeback. The Lakers ended winning comfortably.
