INDIANAPOLIS, April 10 (UPI) -- Troy Murphy and Danny Granger combined for 47 points Saturday as the Indiana Pacers posted a 115-102 decision over New Jersey.

Murphy scored 25 points and hauled down nine rebounds while Granger chipped in with 22 points in the Indiana win, the Pacers' 10th in 12 games as their season winds down.

Indiana also got 18 points off the bench from Dahntay Jones while Roy Hibbert contributed 16 for the Pacers, who took their first lead at 64-62 three minutes into the third quarter on a Granger basket and never looked back from that point.

The Nets, who dropped to 12-68, secured the worst record in the NBA with the loss. Brook Lopez put in 20 points and Terrence Williams ended with 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in the defeat.
