The Indiana Pacers achieved a significant victory over the Phoenix Suns, winning 120-111 in a match that showcased their resilience and teamwork. This win marks their fourth in five games, with Pascal Siakam leading the charge with 25 points and 18 rebounds, while Tyrese Haliburton contributed a double-double.
Despite the win, coach Rick Carlisle noted the impact of Devin Booker's injury, which occurred in the second half. Booker's absence shifted the dynamics, although the Pacers still had to maintain their composure against stars like Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.
Indiana's strong defense and ball control were critical, forcing 16 turnovers while only committing nine themselves, which helped them secure the win despite a less-than-stellar shooting percentage.
