Suns scorch depleted Pacers, Hawks hold off Jazz
The Freeman
|November 15, 2025
Phoenix’s Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks combined for 65 points as the Suns became the latest NBA team to beat up on the injury hit Indiana Pacers , romping to a 133-98 victory.
-
Indiana, who fell to Oklahoma City in last season’s NBA Finals, continue to struggle with a stream of injuries in addition to the ruptured Achilles tendon suffered by Tyrese Haliburton in the championship series last June.
Haliburton is expected to miss the entire season, and the Pacers were also without injured Obi Toppin, Bennedict Mathurin, Quenton Jackson and Kam Jones as well as ailing Cody Martin.
Indiana has lost six straight since their lone win of the season on November 1. At 1-11 they are tied for the worst record in the league with the Washington Wizards.
Thursday’s 35-point loss is their most lopsided of the season.
