As the Indiana Pacers prepare to welcome the Phoenix Suns to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, fans are anticipating an exciting matchup. The Pacers have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, displaying both high-scoring prowess and defensive vulnerabilities.

In their last game against the Orlando Magic, despite a strong offensive showing with 110 points and an impressive 44 percent success rate from beyond the arc, the Pacers fell short by seven points. This loss brought them to a balanced record of 14 wins and 14 losses for the season. Their performance was marked by a solid assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.8 and they managed to draw fouls effectively but struggled defensively, allowing 117 points.


The previous game saw them on the road against Memphis Grizzlies where they scored 103 points but were outpaced as they conceded 116. The team's three-point shooting dipped slightly to approximately 35 percent, yet they maintained a decent assist-to-turnover ratio of about 1.75.


However, it's worth noting that just before these two games, the Pacers had an explosive home game where they dominated Charlotte Hornets with an overwhelming scoreline of 144-113. Their field goal percentage was exceptional at over 61 percent and their three-point shooting was also on point at around 46 percent.


While consistency has been elusive for Indiana this season, their ability to put up big numbers on offense is undeniable. As they face off against Phoenix Suns at home where they recently thrived against Charlotte Hornets, there's potential for another high-scoring affair if they can harness that same energy and efficiency.


Fans can catch all the action live from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on January 27th through local broadcast networks BSIN or AZFamily depending on their location.
