Bub Carrington, Jaden Hardy, Anthony Gill and Kadary Richmond each scored 13 points as the Washington Wizards beat the visiting Indiana Pacers 112-105 on Thursday.
Bilal Coulibaly and Tristan Vukcevic added 12 points apiece and Tre Johnson had 10 for Washington, which snapped a three-game losing streak in its first game after the All-Star break.
Washington forced 23 turnovers to help win the first of back-to-back matchups against the Pacers. The Wizards host the Pacers again Friday.
Gill capped a 14-0 run with a 3-pointer to give Washington a 110-97 lead with 3:01 left before Indiana responded with eight straight points to pull within five with 1:02 to play.
The Wizards forced a turnover with 28 seconds left and Sharife Cooper made two foul shots for the final margin.
Jarace Walker led Indiana with 21 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists. Rookie Taelon Peter had a career-high 16 points, Jay Huff and Ben Sheppard scored 15 apiece, Micah Potter added 14 and Kobe Brown had 10.
The Pacers played without All-Star forward Pascal Siakam, who sat out due to personal reasons.
Indiana was down to eight players after forward Aaron Nesmith (right ankle sprain) and guard Kam Jones (sore lower back) exited with injuries in the first half.
Washington led 26-24 after the first quarter and opened up a seven-point lead before Indiana moved ahead 38-37 on Brown's 3-pointer with 6:05 left in the second period.

Vukcevic had 12 points in the first half to lead Washington, while Huff had 11 for the Pacers.
Vukcevic started at center in place of Alex Sarr, who is expected to miss at least another week with a right hamstring strain.
