Pacers rout Wizards 162-109 for most points in NBA franchise history and most allowed by Washington
The final score could have been even more lopsided, but Indiana began taking shot clock violations with well over a minute remaining, drawing boos from the crowd in Washington. Indiana's previous record in an NBA game was 157 points, set most recently last season.
It was also the most points allowed in franchise history for Washington and the most points scored in an NBA game this season.
Myles Turner added 17 points for the Pacers, who rebounded after losing a night earlier to the Los Angeles Lakers on a buzzer-beating tip-in by LeBron James.
That loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Pacers, but this matchup with the cellar-dwelling Wizards gave Indiana a good chance to start a new streak. Indiana led 83-61 at the half. It was 125-88 after three, with Indiana shooting 22 of 34 from 3-point range at that point and 66% overall.
Rookie Alex Sarr led Washington with 22 points.
Wizards: It was another nice offensive night for Sarr after he scored 24 points in a win at Philadelphia on Wednesday, but Washington put up very little resistance defensively on a night the Pacers' shooting was devastating.
