LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Lakers attempt to record their eighth consecutive home win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

Meanwhile, the Pacers are trying to close out a six-game road trip with a 3-3 record and are coming off a 121-101 defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.

Jamaal Tinsley netted 25 points and handed out eight assists and Jermaine O'Neal added 20 points and 16 boards. Al Harrington scored 18 points for Indiana, which committed 26 turnovers.
