Final
Pacers target sixth straight home win
Mar 2, 2008 - 2:23 PM Milwaukee (22-37) at Indiana (23-36) 6:00 pm ESTINDIANAPOLIS (Ticker) - Even though they were missing four players, the Indiana Pacers were able to win their last game in impressive fashion. They can only hope for similar results when they get their leading scorer back.
Danny Granger returns from his one-game suspension on Sunday as the Pacers look for their sixth straight home win when they host the Milwaukee Bucks.
Granger was suspended for Friday's 122-111 road win over the Toronto Raptors after striking Andres Nocioni of the Chicago Bulls in the face two days earlier. Indiana already is without Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley due to injuries.
However, Mike Dunleavy scorched the Raptors for a career-high-tying 36 points to propel the Pacers to just their fourth victory in their last 17 games.
The task should be a bit easier on Sunday as Granger returns from his suspension against the Bucks, who are just 6-25 on the road this season.
Milwaukee took a one-point lead late on Saturday, but faltered down the stretch in a 96-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs - the Bucks' 17th loss in their 24 games.
Michael Redd scored 25 points and Andrew Bogut added 17 and 15 rebounds for Milwaukee, which could not overcome the loss of point guard Mo Williams, who was ejected with 7:32 left in the third quarter for arguing a call.
