INDIANAPOLIS – David West scored 31 points and George Hill added 20, leading the Indiana Pacers past the Bulls 97-92 in a Central Division showdown Sunday night.

Indiana (38-22) has won seven of its past eight games, going 6-1 since the All-Star break, and holds a four-game lead over second-place Chicago.

The Bulls were led by Marco Belinelli and Jimmy Butler, who each had 20 points for a team that was missing four key players with injuries. The Bulls fell behind late in the first quarter and spent most of the rest of the game trying to play catch-up.
