LOS ANGELES, March 8 (UPI) -- Jarrett Jack had 25 points and Indianapolis held the Clippers without a field goal for most of the fourth quarter Saturday night in a 106-105 win over LA.

Jack put the Pacers ahead on a three-point play with 44.5 seconds left to play and the Clippers failed to get off a shot after inbounding the ball with 5.2 seconds remaining. Indiana picked up its third win in four games.

Troy Murphy finished with 22 points and 15 rebounds and T.J. Ford had 17 points and eight assists for the Pacers.

Eric Gordon -- in action after missing four games with a bruised left shoulder -- led the Clippers with 35 points and Al Thornton had 22 points and nine rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost five straight games.

Zach Randolph, who missed two games to be with his ailing father, had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Clippers. Randolph's father died Thursday.

LA went more than seven minutes without a field goal at the end of the fourth period.
