Glenn Robinson III and Myles Turner each scored 17 points to lead the Indiana Pacers to a 91-70 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night.
Blake Griffin had 16 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost two in a row for the first time this season. Chris Paul added 13 points.
Al Jefferson and Rodney Stuckey created a spark off the bench for the Pacers. Jefferson finished with 16 points and eight rebounds, while Stuckey had 12 points to help Indiana win two straight for just the second time this season.
"We just tried to have active hands and be aggressive defensively," said Jeff Teague, who had 13 points and two steals. "That's a great team over there, great players that they have. We just did a good job of being active and causing a little havoc on defense."
Indiana went on a 12-2 run at the start of the second half and took a 62-44 lead after Robinson's three-pointer with 6:48 left in the third quarter.
"It was all bad," Paul said. "We shot bad, we defended bad. We have to sweep it under the rug. We have to fix it and stop the bleeding at some point."
