INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Pascal Siakam had 24 points and 11 rebounds and the Indiana Pacers beat the Washington Wizards 119-86 on Friday night in an NBA Cup game between two of the league’s worst teams.

Bennedict Mathurin added 20 points, and T.J. McConnell had 14 points and eight assists to help Indiana end a three-game losing streak and improve to 3-16. Washington dropped to 2-16 to replace the Pacers in last place.

Injury-ravaged Indiana has plummeted without Tyrese Haliburton, the star guard who tore his right Achilles in the Pacers’ Game 7 loss to Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals.
