Danny Granger poured in a season-high 37 points and Darren Collison added 17 and six assists as the surging Indiana Pacers topped the host Sacramento Kings, 107-98, on Tuesday.
Roy Hibbert had 16 points and eight rebounds and Solomon Jones chipped in 12 points off the bench for the Pacers, who have won four of five overall and have held their opponents under 100 points in six of their last seven contests.
Indiana took control in the third quarter, opening the frame with a 17-2 run that Granger capped with a four-point play to make it 69-54. The Pacers stretched it to 78-60 before the Kings used a brief spurt to close within 80-69 heading into the fourth quarter.
Sacramento got as close as 87-81 with 7:30 left, but Granger answered with a three-point play.
Beno Udrih scored 24 points and fellow reserve DeMarcus Cousins added 20 for the Kings, who have dropped five in a row and had only one starter reach double figures.
