Daily NBA Fix 1-11-14: 5 Straight For Brooklyn
By Phil Watson
INDIANA PACERS 93, Washington Wizards 66
Kevin Seraphin’s runner with 49 seconds left helped Washington avoid tying a franchise record for fewest points in a game, but it was still a serious spanking in Indianapolis. Washington scored 64 points in a 78-64 loss at Chicago on Jan. 11, 2012, and instead tied for the fourth-lowest point total in the history of the franchise. David West had 20 points for the Pacers and Paul George had 14 rebounds and six assists to make up for a 2-for-14 night from the floor.
Detroit Pistons 114, PHILADELPHIA 76ERS 104
Detroit snapped their six-game losing streak and got its first win since before Christmas by beating the hapless 76ers. Seven Pistons scored in double figures, led by Josh Smith, who had 22 points, 13 boards, seven assists, five blocks and four steals—a Josh Smith kind of night.
