SUNS 102 PACERS 94...PHX Hoops gives GOLD Swagger Loss #2 after a Home-Cooked Meal...Both NBA All-Star Game Snubs DRAGIC of PHX and LANCE of NAPtown go O-Zone Layer...LOGO WATCH as the "Valley of the SUN" strikes PACER Nation #PHXhoops #SUNSnation

The Phoenix Suns go into Bankers Life Fieldhouse right after Bankers Hours and do what only one team has been able to do..beat the Pacers after the Pacers go Home-Cooked Meal. The Story Line was that Pacers 2nd Home Loss and two players from each team not getting good news before the game or the news they didn't want to hear.

The Suns up 66-49 at the break as they had Gold Swagger backed in the Corner with the Fight Doctor Bernie Pacheco yelling "Throw the Towel". To the Pacers Credit they came out with a little more Swagger in their step in the 2nd half an got within one point late in the 3d frame. That was the closest they would get as the Suns follow the lead of their All-Star Game PG Snub Goran Dragic. Dragic lit up Gold Swagger for 28 points as he waited on seven Suns Tables. The Morris Twins went Double your Pleasure as they combined for 31 points, nine boards and four helpers. That inside play from the Twins off the Suns Bench off set what "Area 55' and D-West was doing for Gold Swagger. Suns Shooting Guard and former Pacer Gerald Green gets 16 points as he continues to play big at the two.

Roy "Area 55" Hibbert of Hoya Paranoia led the Pacers with 26 points and six board with D-West adding 18 points but it was Pacers All-Star Snub Lance Stephenson who came out firing. With his Logo leading 4th Triple-Double (14 pts 10 asst 10 rebs) "Lance of the BK" was illustrating all night long why he was worthy of getting sent to NOLA for All-Star Weekend by the NBA and the Pacers. As for this game 1 for 15 from the Arc and that huge Pacers Deficit at the break was too much to overcome. All five Pacer Starters hit double figures as they get zilch from the Pen.

The Suns move to an impressive 28-18 while the Pacers fall to 35-10 and suffered only their 2nd loss at home.
