Lakers vs. Pacers
Newly acquired Peja Stojakovic of the Indiana Pacers scored 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to a convincing 105-79 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers who were playing for the third time in four nights, Wednesday night at Conseco Fieldhouse. Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers was held to 26 points, 10 below his league leading average to snap his streak of scoring 30 or more points at eight games.

"It kind of reminded me of having Reggie Miller again, with him coming off the screens and looking for the ball" Indiana Pacers center Jeff Foster said. "Some of those rainbows coming out of the clouds were reminiscent of Reggie," Anthony Johnson of the Indiana Pacers lamented.
