MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) -- Danny Granger scored 25 points and MikeDunleavy Jr. added 24 to lead the Indiana Pacers past theMinnesota Timberwolves, 106-95, in exhibition action on Tuesday.

Ike Diogu and Jeff Foster combined for 31 points and 18 reboundsfor the Pacers, who notched their fifth win of the preseason.

The Pacers took control of the game in the first half with a14-3 second-quarter run in which Granger scored 10 points.Despite being guarded by a multitude of defenders, Minnesota hadlittle success keeping him contained as the third-year veteranended the first half with 20 points.


One of the bright spots for Minnesota was the play of AlJefferson, who was acquired in the megadeal that sent superstarKevin Garnett to Boston during the offseason. He collected 27points and 17 rebounds.


Minnesota rookie forward Corey Brewer, the No. 7 overallselection in June's draft, scored 27 points against Milwaukee onSaturday but netted just nine in 33 minutes on Tuesday.

Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal did not play due to a hyperextendedright knee while Troy Murphy and David Harrison both rested.

For Minnesota, Randy Foye (left knee) and Sebastian Telfair(left ankle) sat out along with Juwan Howard and Rashad McCants.
