The Phoenix Suns dominated the Indiana Pacers 133–98 on November 13 at Footprint Center, with Devin Booker and Donovan Brooks combining for 65 points to lead a comprehensive offensive display. Phoenix shot 57.6 percent from the field and made 13 three-pointers while holding Indiana to just 36.4 percent shooting and seven threes, a decisive efficiency gap that defined the matchup. The Suns' second quarter proved pivotal, outscoring Indiana 39–29 to build a commanding lead they never relinquished. Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 21 points and Pascal Siakam added 19, but Indiana's fourth-quarter collapse—scoring just 14 points—underscored the gulf in execution; the Pacers also committed 12 turnovers to Phoenix's 11 while generating only 20 assists on 98 points. Phoenix's offensive rating of 135.9 paired with a defensive rating of 101.3 illustrated their two-way dominance, while Indiana's 101.3 offensive rating and 135.9 defensive rating reflected a complete breakdown. The 35-point margin signals a potential shift in the Suns' form heading into their next stretch.
