LOS ANGELES -- David West scored 19 points, Lance Stephenson had 15 points and 14 rebounds, and the Indiana Pacers wrapped up a five-game road trip with a 104-92 victory over the spiraling Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. George Hill had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, who stayed atop the overall NBA standings despite losing twice on their West Coast trip. Los Angeles kept it close into the second half before the Pacers finished an easy win over the injury-riddled Lakers, who have lost five straight. All-Star selection Paul George had his second straight rough game for Indiana, scoring 14 points on 4-for-21 shooting. Pau Gasol had 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Lakers, who returned from a two-week road trip for their 17th loss in 20 games. Jodie Meeks also scored 21 points, and Nick Young had 12 points on 5-of-16 shooting in the Lakers fourth consecutive home loss to Indiana since 2010. Kendall Marshall had 11 points and 13 assists. While dropping into 14th place in the Western Conference, the Lakers (16-30) also got yet another round of dismaying injury news during the game. Kobe Bryant has continued pain and swelling after breaking a bone in his left knee, and he wont be re-evaluated for three more weeks. The fourth-leading scorer in NBA history has played in just six games this season, and the latest injury is expected to force him to miss the All-Star game next month. He has been out since Dec. 17. Los Angeles also played without Steve Nash, Steve Blake, Jordan Farmar and Xavier Henry, while Gasol and Meeks played through nagging injuries. Nash is hoping to return Friday, but the Lakers arent certain after the two-time MVP missed his 38th consecutive game. Despite struggling for long stretches on offence and making just 15 of their 27 free throws, the Pacers bounced back from Saturdays loss at Denver, their second in three games. Indiana led by five points late in the third quarter before making a 19-8 run, going up 93-77 on Stephensons layup with 7:26 left. Indianas opponents had averaged 109.5 points per game on this trip until the Pacers met the Lakers, who failed to crack 100 points for the first time in nine games. The injury-riddled Lakers gave 18 minutes of playing time to Manny Harris, who was in the D-League the last time Los Angeles played a home game. Harris went scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting.

The Pacers have won four of their five road games against Pacific Division teams. ... Reggie Miller watched his Pacers from a seat next to the Lakers bench, wearing a UCLA cap. Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig, former USC WR Marqise Lee and Galaxy striker Robbie Keane also watched at courtside. Joe Namath Youth Jersey . - Tom Brady and the Patriots routed the Bengals and quieted the doubters. Taylor Rapp Youth Jersey . The 27-year-old forward has informed the Leafs that he will be unable to play in Monday nights home game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Andrew-Whitworth-Jersey/ . Goins is the early favourite to win the starting job at second base. Pillar is an outsider to secure a role off the bench, which becomes an even more difficult spot to win if the number of back up jobs is reduced by one. That happens if the Blue Jays decide to start the season with an eight man bullpen. Robert Woods Youth Jersey . Replay backed him up. Adeiny Hechavarria immediately followed the ruling with a go-ahead sacrifice fly for the Miami Marlins, who held on to beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday completing a three-game sweep. Todd Gurley II Jersey . - Houston defensive end J.KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Former first-round draft pick Aaron Crow was traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Miami Marlins for left-hander Brian Flynn and right-hander Reid Redman.In another move Friday, Jason Frasor and the Royals agreed to a one-year contract with a 2016 mutual option that guarantees the reliever $1.8 million.Crow, a 28-year-old right-hander taken with the 12th overall pick in 2009, was 6-1 with a 4.12 ERA and three saves in 67 relief appearances this year. The Topeka, Kansas, native did not pitch in the post-season.Crow was a starter in college and in the minor leagues, and the Marlins plan to consider him for their rotation.Were not sure how the rest of the off-season will unfold in terms of what else we add to our pitching staff, president of baseball operations Mike Hill said. But we love the flexibility. We love the thought he could possibly be a starting option for us. At a minimum we know hell be a valuable bullpen piece and add to the overall depth of our staff.Crow, who made the All-Star team in 2011, said starting in the majors is something he has always wanted to do.Its a little more taxing on your body, and I think a little more challenging, too, Crow said. As a reliever you only face guys one time. Facing them three times in one game iis a little bit different.dddddddddddd Its a little more challenging. Its something Id like to see if I could be successful at.Flynn, 24, was 8-10 with a 4.06 ERA in 25 starts at Triple-A New Orleans and also had one start and one relief appearance for the Marlins, a year after making four starts for Miami in his first big league season. He played at Wichita State in 2009 and 11.The 26-year-old Redman was 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA and seven saves at Class A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville.Frasor gets $1.25 million next season, down from $1.75 million this year. The 2016 option is for $2 million with a $550,000 buyout.He can earn $500,000 annually in performance bonuses based on games pitched: $75,000 each for 35, 40, 45 and 50, and $100,000 apiece for 55 and 60.The 37-year-old right-hander was acquired from Texas in July and went 3-0 with a 1.53 ERA in 23 games for Kansas City and 4-1 with a 2.66 ERA in 61 games overall. He was a veteran presence in a young clubhouse as the Royals made the post-season for the first time since 1985 and lost to San Francisco in a seven-game World Series.Frasor was 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs, earning victories in the Royals wild-card win over the As and in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series against Baltimore.
