Bynum returns as Pacers rebound from skid by beating Celtics

David West scored 24 points Tuesday while Andrew Bynum finished with eight points and 10 rebounds in 16 minutes, helping the Pacers pull away from Boston, 94-83.

The Pacers desperately needed West's closing punch after losing a season high four straight.

Jared Sullinger led Boston with 17 points and nine rebounds, Kris Humphries added 15 points, but it wasn't enough to win a third straight as the Celtics lost more ground in their chase to make the playoffs.
