Bojan Bogdanovic added 22 points and Tyreke Evans scored 18 for the Pacers, who squandered all but one point of a 25-point, third-quarter lead. Darren Collison had 17 assists.

Bradley Beal, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week, led Washington with 30 points, and Kelly Oubre Jr. added 23 off the bench.

The Wizards played without point guard John Wall due to bone spurs in his left heel.

Markieff Morris' 3-pointer pulled Washington within 87-81 with 9:55 remaining, and Oubre's trey made it 91-87 with 8:02 left.

The Wizards got to within one on Beal's free throws with 4:45 to go, but Turner's 15-footer made it 105-99 with 1:53 remaining.

The Pacers got a Thaddeus Young layup off his offensive rebound to make it 107-101 with 37 seconds left, and Evans stole the Wizards' inbounds pass to ice it.

The Wizards trailed by seven in the first quarter but hit 5 of 6 from the 3-point range and closed to within 33-29 after one quarter.

With Washington leading 50-49 late in the second quarter, Bogdanovic hit two 3-pointers and scored eight points in a 10-0 Pacers run to intermission.
