Indiana Pacers level series against Washington Wizards

The Indiana Pacers have levelled their Eastern Conference semi-final against the Washington Wizards after winning the second game of their series 86-82.

The visitors had a slender lead at half time, and opened up a gap of six early in the third as they looked to make it back-to-back wins against the conference's top seeds.

However, Roy Hibbert added a season-high 28 points to erase their lead and give the home side the advantage heading into the final 12 minutes.

Marcin Gortat and Bradley Beal both added points late on to give the Wizards late hope, briefly getting the visitors back ahead, but Hibbert and Paul George made sure that Indiana came back for the win.

The two sides meet again in Washington tomorrow evening.
