LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Indiana Pacers shoot for a second
straight victory on a four-game road trip on Wednesday when they
visit the Los Angeles Clippers. Indiana opened its trip with a 96-88 victory at Golden State on
Wednesday despite the ejection of All-Star Jermaine O'Neal in
the fourth quarter. O'Neal scored 12 points, but Southern
California native Reggie Miller drained five 3-pointers and
scored 21 points to lead the Pacers. The Pacers have won 18 of the last 20 meetings with the
Clippers, including a 91-78 triumph on November 19. Al
Harrington collected 22 points and nine rebounds as Indiana held
a 44-30 edge in points in the paint despite O'Neal sitting out
with right knee tendinitis. O'Neal is averaging 14.2 points and 10.2 rebounds in six career
games with Indiana against Los Angeles. The Clippers lost for the ninth time in 12 games with Tuesday's
113-106 loss at Sacramento. Corey Maggette scored 32 points and
Elton Brand added 25 for Los Angeles. Los Angeles is 9-4 at
home against Eastern Conference foes.
