INDIANAPOLIS -- Guard C.J. Miles scored 25 points, including a clutch 3-pointer in the second overtime, and the Indiana Pacers gained an edge in the battle for the last Eastern Conference playoff spot with a 99-95 victory over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Indiana (38-43) can earn the eighth and final playoff spot in the East with a victory on Wednesday at Memphis, or with a Brooklyn loss at home to Orlando. The Nets get the final spot with a victory against the Magic and a Pacers loss to the Grizzlies.

Miles' 3-pointer with 3:38 remaining in the second overtime gave the Pacers a 90-87 lead, and a basket by forward David West on the next possession extended the advantage to 92-87.

Point guard George Hill added 24 points for Indiana.

Center Marcin Gortat scored 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for the Wizards (46-35), and guard Bradley Beal added 19 points.

Each team scored only four points in the first overtime, which ended tied at 85. A basket by Pacers forward Paul George with 22.4 seconds left in the first OT forced five more minutes.

Indiana did not score in the first 4:03 of the first overtime, but the Wizards got only two Beal free throws in that time.

A 3-pointer from Miles and a layup by guard George Hill with 2:34 remaining in regulation gave Indiana a 76-75 lead, capping a 15-5 blitz. The Pacers stretched their lead to 79-75, but the Wizards tied it at 79 with 1:17 left on two Wall free throws.

Washington used a 9-0 run, which included a Rasual Butler 3-pointer, to seize a 70-61 lead with 6:48 remaining before a Hill field goal ended the Pacers' drought and sliced the deficit to 70-63 with 5:58 to go.

Both teams shot poorly: 38.1 percent for Indiana, 35.6 percent for Washington.
