Overview
- Devin Booker scored 33 and Dillon Brooks added 32 as Phoenix improved to 8-5 with a wire-to-wire victory.
- The Suns blew the game open with a 16-0 third-quarter run and led by as many as 46 while shooting 57.6% from the field.
- Oso Ighodaro delivered 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks off the bench as Mark Williams sat for right-knee management.
- Grayson Allen exited with a right quadriceps contusion and did not return, and Pacers starter Aaron Nesmith left with left knee soreness.
- Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said Nesmith’s injury did not initially appear very serious but indicated he will miss time, as Indiana’s season-long absences include Tyrese Haliburton after Achilles surgery.
