The Kings improved to 3-1 on their five-game road trip with a convincing 110-93 win over the Indiana Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse.

The Kings outscored the Pacers 64-40 in the paint and harassed the home team into shooting 35.2 percent for the game. Kings’ points in the paint were the second most against Indiana this season. The Pacers were a woeful 4-of-25 on three pointers.

Defense is what Kings coach Paul Westphal credited for the win. His bigs controlled the pain and several Pacers had off shooting nights. Danny Granger scored a game-high 20 points for the Pacers but shot 4-of-13 and scored 11 points off free throws.

Backup guard A.J. Price was 4-of-15, including 1-of-9 on threes. Tyler Hansbrough was 3-of-13.

DeMarcus Cousins led the way with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Six Kings scored in double figures, including all five starters.

After missing the previous 19 games, Tyreke Evans had six points and eight assists off the bench.

The Kings play at Philadelphia on Sunday.
