Indianapolis ? Reggie Miller still is scoring points and setting standards. All he wants now are wins.

Miller continued his late-season resurgence Wednesday night, scoring 21 points and becoming the 13th player in league history to top 25,000 career points as he led the short-handed Pacers past San Antonio, 100-93.

“It’s a nice accomplishment, obviously, to do it in front of the home crowd,” Miller said. “But more importantly, it keeps us in the playoff hunt.”

The victory helped Indiana stay ahead of Philadelphia, Orlando and New Jersey — all of whom are battling for the final two playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.

But Miller, who is retiring after this season, has seemingly turned back the clock since All-Star forward Jermaine O’Neal went down because of a sprained right shoulder March 3. Again, Miller has become a major scorer, a key leader, and Wednesday, he also received some help.

Austin Croshere scored 18 points and had four rebounds in his second straight start. Miller and Croshere carried the Pacers (34-33) during the first half when San Antonio stayed close, and Stephen Jackson scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half when the Pacers pulled away. Anthony Johnson also had 18 points, and Jeff Foster finished with 15 rebounds.

It was the kind of performance the Pacers needed with three players missing from the lineup — O’Neal (shoulder), Jamaal Tinsley (foot) and Fred Jones who was sick.
