On the bright side, the Pacers are 6-2 in these no rest, back-to-back situations this season, albeit that success included Tyrese Haliburton in the lineup.

The Suns are 2-8 in their last 10 games with a bloated injury report that has wreaked havoc on their depth, not to mention keeping their star, Devin Booker out of action. On the bright side, the Pacers are 6-2 in these no rest, back-to-back situations this season, albeit that success included Tyrese Haliburton in the lineup.

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- The Pacers fought back from several deficits but lost 112-107 to a short-handed Phoenix Suns squad on Saturday night at the Footprint ...

The Suns scored 16 points off turnovers, but the Pacers scored 13 off Phoenix's so that was largely a push. Carlisle said repeatedly that the biggest problem the Pacers had on both ends were turnovers, because not only were they empty possession on offense, but they were leading to transition buckets on the other end. Hield scored 31 points the night Haliburton was injured against the Knicks, but had scored in double figures just twice in the five games since with a combined 12 in losses to Oklahoma City and Denver on 4 of 10 shooting over two nights. "We improved in a lot of areas, but we were going to," Carlisle said. "When Buddy's rolling and coming off screens and doing his keeps and getting to the rim and hitting Myles and especially his 3-point shooting ability, we're a better team," McConnell said. The two are close going back to their time together in Sacramento before coming to the Pacers together, so Haliburton knows how and where he wants the ball, and with Haliburton not on the floor, Hield has been guarded by tougher defenders. They committed 23 on Wednesday against the Thunder, then 21 against the Nuggets, and those had a lot to do with the reason the defense fell apart. I just tried to give them the ball and shoot when I was open." He scored 11 points in the first half on 5 of 8 shooting, knocking down a 3-pointer, and he had seven assists against two turnovers before the break, plus six rebounds and two steals. "The group I was with spaced the floor," McConnell said. They had an excellent defensive quarter, holding Phoenix to 6 of 20 shooting, but the Pacers made just 3 of their first 16 field goal attempts and fell behind 102-94. And every time it seemed that the Suns were starting to pull away in the first three quarters, Indiana answered, erasing a 10-point second-quarter deficit along with several others.

PHOENIX (AP) The broad-shouldered Ish Wainright looks as if he should be making plays in the NFL instead of the NBA. For a while, that was the dream.

Then it was back to basketball, and he played in Europe for a couple years before signing a two-way contract with the Suns in 2021. Mathurin - who played at Arizona in college - scored 12 points for the Pacers and finished with a team-high 23. They lost to the Bulls in the NBA Finals in six games. ... Honored the 1992-93 Suns team that won the Western Conference championship. Haliburton and Purdy both played in college at Iowa State. Hield hit both free throws and Bennedict Mathurin made a layup after the Pacers retained possession because of the flagrant foul. The Pacers lost despite a triple-double from T.J. ''Getting the next win is going to be challenging,'' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. The Pacers shot just 37.5%. I wasn't hunting for them they kind of landed in my hands.'' The Suns had a 59-57 lead at halftime. Phoenix and its ragtag roster took an 87-83 lead into the fourth quarter.
