MANILA, Philippines — Jordan Clarkson came off the bench to power the Los Angeles Lakers past the Indiana Pacers. That and more in this roundup of all the NBA games on Saturday, Philippine time.

LAKERS 99, PACERS 86

LOS ANGELES — Reserve guard Clarkson sparked an undermanned Lakers team with 33 points to lead Los Angeles to a 99-86 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

The Lakers, missing three injured starters, snapped a two-game skid despite making just two of 14 free throws. They shot 14.3 percent from the line, a franchise low.

Victor Oladipo led the Pacers with 25 points. Domantas Sabonis added 15 points and 14 rebounds.

Only three other Lakers scored in double figures besides Clarkson. Julius Randle had 14 points, Kyle Kuzma added 13 and Larry Nance Jr. 10.

The Pacers, the NBA's third-best shooting team, shot 39.6 percent the previous night in Portland and then opened Friday's game by missing 13 of their first 17 attempts.

They shot 38.1 percent on the night, including 2 for 25 from 3-point range. It was the first time this season they shot less than 40 percent in consecutive games.

The Pacers had won five of seven.
