NEW ORLEANS -- Danny Granger and the surging Indiana Pacers aren't just beating opponents. They're blowing them off the court.

 

Granger led six Pacers in double figures with 20 points, and Indiana went ahead by 30 in the fourth quarter before beating the short-handed New Orleans Hornets 102-84 on Saturday night.

 

Indiana has won six in a row for the first time in seven years, with the average margin of victory 17.5 points.

 

"We've had a 30-point lead on almost every team and sometimes 40," Granger said. "We're playing really well right now and playing with a lot of confidence. The last four games, a bunch of us haven't even played the fourth quarter."

 

David West had 14 points and 13 rebounds in his first game back in New Orleans after playing the first eight years of his career with the Hornets. Darren Collison, whom the Hornets traded to the Pacers before the 2010-11 season, added 13 points, including a circus shot at the halftime buzzer.

 

Jarrett Jack scored 18 and Marco Belinelli added 15 for New Orleans, which played its fourth game in five days and dressed only nine players for the second consecutive night. The Hornets avoided their most lopsided loss of the season by outscoring the Pacers 19-7 to close the game.
