Pacers Dominate Suns At Fieldhouse

Last updated on Thursday, January 25, 2018

(INDIANAPOLIS, IN) - A day after earning his first All-Star nod, Victor Oladipo put the spotlight on his teammates as the Pacers rolled past the Phoenix Suns 116-101.

Thaddeus Young scored a game-high 22 points while Oladipo added 21 and distributed nine assists in the process.

"I drew a lot of attention and guys were wide open," Oladipo said. "When my teammates are playing well, shooting the ball well, it makes it that much easier for me and everyone else."

Indiana shot over 56 percent from the field and racked up 32 assists while forcing 16 Phoenix turnovers. Domantas Sabonis added 19 points made eight rebounds and the second-year forward will join Oladipo at the All-Star Game when he participates in the Rising Stars Challenge on the Friday night of All-Star weekend.

The Pacers have won back-to-back games and hit the road on Friday when they visit the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers.
