After the first period Pacers Lead Man Frank Vogel had to be telling his bunch not to get in a Slug fest in the middle of the ring with these guys as we want to slow it down more. The Suns meanwhile welcomed the Pacers Pace playing the Suns Pace and the Suns ran with it.

After a 30-29 Suns lead after one and a 62-49 lead at the Break the Suns took it up to a notch the Pacers were not ready for in the 2nd half. Behind an electric night from Suns Back Court Goran Dragic ( 21 pts) and Gerald Green (23 pts 6 rebs) the Suns slowly and methodically took apart the Pacers bit by bit to the tune of a 124-100 "W" that wasn't as lopsided as you might think. The Suns Starting Front Line of Miles Plumlee, Channing Frye, and P.J. Tucker combined for 34 points and fifteen boards as that almost matched the output of Gold Swagger's Production in the Front Court.

The Pacers committed 20 turnovers and Larry Legend just talked about the Pacers going to the next level cannot have a high turnover number. Pacers SF Paul George had a game-high 26 points and grabbed seven boars but his supporting cast was non-existent. PG George Hill added 16 points and PF David West 13 points as the only three Pacers in double-figures. The Pacers also were a -18 from the Arc and missed nine free throws. They shot themselves in the foot and to be honest Gold Swagger doesn't have the firepower to dig themselves out of a deep hole.

The Suns need that win as they hang on to the 8th and final seed in the West at 24-17. The pacers fall to 33-8 and at this pace they are on that is a robust 66-16 in the 82-game trek. The Pacers are 1-1 on their current five-game Motel Swing.
