The Indiana Pacers will welcome the Phoenix Suns to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Friday. The Pacers lost 116-111 in their last game over the Heat. Buddy Hield scored 29 points for Indiana, which has lost 13 of its last 15 games. Myles Turner had 23 points and 11 rebounds, while T.J. McConnell scored 18.
Tyrese Haliburton had 10 assists for the Pacers, but a Heat defense led by Butler held him to 11 points — 32 fewer than he scored in a win at Miami on Dec. 23. His 3-pointer with 10.5 seconds left got Indiana within three, but Adebayo sealed it with a pair of free throws. “Miami has a deserved, an earned reputation as a hard-playing team, a team that always responds to previous losses,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
The Heat and Pacers split the four-game regular-season series. And just like the first three, this one went right down to the end. The combined score of the season series entering Wednesday was Pacers 294, Heat 294; now, it’s Heat 410, Pacers 405, none of the games this season decided by more than five points.
The Phoenix Suns on the other hand lost 116-107 against the Hawks in their last game. The Suns had only nine players available after trading Cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges as part of a package for Durant, the 13-time All-Star, before Thursday’s trade deadline. “Today was a tough day in so many respects, emotionally and the human side of it,” Williams said before adding, “but going forward, it’s Kevin.”
Josh Okogie had 25 points and Deandre Ayton added 23 points and for Phoenix, which had its three-game winning streak end. Durant did not join his new team for the game, but the anticipation for his arrival is growing. “You can put him on any team and he’s going to fit,” Suns guard Landry Shamet said of Durant before the game. “He knows how to play. He’s played in a number of different systems. He’s insertable in any of them. You can throw it to him and he’s going to go score every time. He’s going to make the right play.”
