INDIANAPOLIS — Scott Brooks looked around the league, noticed the scoreboards and felt a tinge of uneasiness. With the NBA’s All-Star break teasingly close, a player’s mind can wander and Brooks felt the recent lopsided results reflected the lack of focus.

“A lot of strange scores the last couple of nights,” Brooks said before the Washington Wizards met the Indiana Pacers.

Brooks wanted to make sure his team took its final game before the break seriously. He need not have worried — there was no lack of focus inside Bankers Life Fieldhouse, only a show of strength and single-mindedness.

Washington never trailed in an impressive 111-98 conquest, earning its fourth consecutive win and 18th in the past 21.

The Wizards enter the break with a 34-21 mark, a two-game lead in the third spot in the Eastern Conference standings and growing confidence they could be poised for a deep postseason run.

“I’ve never been even this close to winning this many games this early in my career,” said John Wall, who has spent his seven years as a pro in Washington and completed his ninth consecutive double double (20 points, 12 assists) to match the longest stretch of his career. “We believe what we’re doing out there on the court.”

Washington has embraced an inside-out attack that allows everyone on the floor to excel. The Wizards shot 51.8 percent Thursday night, with each starter taking at least 10 shots and reaching double figures. The starting five accounted for 87 percent of the total and led the 3-point attack by matching a season-best with 15 made 3s out of 29 attempts.

With less than six minutes remaining in the final quarter, Otto Porter Jr. tied his career high with six 3-pointers and scored a game-high 25 points to go with eight rebounds while Markieff Morris (8-for-12 overall, 3-for-4 from the arc) contributed 21 points and seven rebounds.

“It’s just tough to guard us, man. We have so many threats,” said Bradley Beal, who made four 3s and finished with 19 points. “You forget about Keef and you forget about [Marcin] Gortat and then you key in on Otto, then you got me. You key in on me, then you got Otto. Then [Wall] is driving to the basket and has his game going.”

As the Wizards coasted, Wall heard mocking chants of “overrated” at the Pacers’ home. He waved his fingers as if to ask for more, knowing full well his play had silenced the taunts.
