After a 35-point loss less than a week prior, the Pacers easily handled a Suns team sans Steve Nash who left the game in the second quarter with a bruised left thigh.

The status of Mr. Nash is not known, however, it was quite apparent that the Suns were lost with out their start guard?s league-leading 11.1 assists per game.

The 101-83 loss marks only the second time the Suns have lost two straight.
