Pacers final score: Suns close out Pacers 113-103

Despite their best efforts (maybe literally), the Indiana Pacers weren’t able to keep their winning streak alive, falling in the second half to the Phoenix Suns.

The Pacers spent most of the night in comeback mode, falling behind out of the gate 12-4, but getting a brief taste of the lead late in the first, with Chris Duarte capping a 5-0 Pacers that had them on top 25-22. That lead wouldn’t last one…
