Danny Granger scored 29 points and Jeff Foster added 10 and 14 rebounds as the Indiana Pacers secured a second consecutive win for the first time in nearly two months with a 101-93 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Kareem Rush collected 10 points and a career-high 11 rebounds for Indiana, which snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win over the lowly New York Knicks on Wednesday night. It was the first time the Pacers registered back-to-back wins since December 15-19, when they reeled off three straight wins against Eastern Conference doormats New York, Miami and Philadelphia.
Indiana's success was aided by the absence of Brandon Roy, who is Portland's lone representative in this month's All-Star Game in New Orleans. The reigning Rookie of the Year leads the team in scoring (19.7), assists (5.8) and steals (1.0).
The Blazers' latest setback came mostly because of Granger, who shot 9-of-17 from the field - including 4-of-7 on 3-pointers - and nailed all nine of his free throws. The former first-round pick set the tone early, nailing all three of his shots from the arc en route to a 20-20 tie after the opening period.
Indiana led by three points at halftime and pushed its lead to double digits in the third to make it 69-58 on Marquis Daniels' jumper with 3:01 left. Portland did not get any closer than six thereafter.
Travis Diener had 15 points and nine assists for the Pacers, who snapped a five-game losing streak here and, despite their struggles, remain in the hunt for a playoff spot in the East.
Indiana (21-30), which had just six turnovers in this one, is tied with Chicago (20-29) for ninth place - one-half game behind the New Jersey Nets (21-29) for the final playoff spot.
LaMarcus Aldridge collected 21 points and 11 rebounds for Portland.
