The Indiana Pacers are still in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff chase with four games left in the NBA's regular season.

Mike Dunleavy scored 25 points, including four free throws in the final 7.7 seconds to lead the Pacers to a 104-98 win over the Milwaukee Bucks .  Indiana pulled within one-game of 8th place Orlando in the East with four games left to play.  If the Pacers can pull even with the Magic, they would win the tiebreaker.

The Bucks, playing with just one regular starter, lost for the 11th time in the last 12 games.  They did climb to within 2 points at 100-98 on David Noel's three pointer with 31-seconds left.  Noel finished with 18 and Mo Williams had 23 to lead the way.

The Bucks are 1-14 against teams from the Central Division this season.  They beat Detroit in the season opener and has dropped 14-straight division games since.
