Stephen Jackson scored 30 points and Jermaine O'Neal had 25 to help the Indiana Pacers beat the Washington Wizards 111-87 on Thursday night.

The Pacers bounced back from losses to Seattle and Dallas, despite playing without forward Ron Artest. Artest, the NBA leader in steals per game and Indiana's second-leading scorer, missed the game because of a right wrist injury.

Without Artest in the lineup, Anthony Johnson and Fred Jones shared the responsibility of guarding Washington star Gilbert Arenas, the league's fourth-leading scorer. Arenas was averaging 28 points, but the Pacers held him to 17 on 5-for-18 shooting. Antawn Jamison added 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Wizards.

Washington scored the game's first eight points and led 30-18 at the end of the first quarter. The Wizards extended that lead to 16 points early in the second quarter, but the Pacers made 14 of 19 shots in the period to cut Washington's lead to one at 51-50 at halftime. Jackson scored 13 points in the quarter.
