INDIANAPOLIS -- Good enough to beat the Wizards, not good enough to satisfy Paul George.

 

George had 29 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Indiana Pacers to an 89-81 victory over Washington on Wednesday night.

 

"I'm glad we got this win but we've got to look past this," George said. "We didn't do a good enough job executing.

 

"Luckily we made enough shots to win, but we didn't do a good job at all of executing. We let them pressure us and get us out of stuff; we play tough teams and that's not going to fly."

 

The Wizards (4-26) came into the game with the NBA's worst record, and had lost eight straight against the Central Division-leading Pacers (19-13).

 

A strong start by the Pacers helped ensure another loss for the Wizards. The Pacers opened with an 8-0 run and led by as many as 17 points in the first quarter.

 

"It's all about the first quarter. I don't know honestly how to fix it," Washington's Emeka Okafor said. "The past two games, teams have jumped on us."

 

Still, Washington didn't go away easily.

 

After falling behind 24-7, the Wizards took advantage of Indiana's turnovers and cold shooting to pull within 38-35 with 5:16 to play in the first half. The Pacers had six turnovers and shot just 7 of 22 from the field in the second quarter but still led 47-39 at the break.
