Devin Booker delivered a dominant performance with 43 points to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 123–108 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night in Indianapolis.

Booker received strong support from Jalen Green, who poured in 36 points as Phoenix extended its winning streak to four games. The Suns continued their recent surge, winning six of their last seven contests and improving to a season-best 12 games over .500.

Royce O'Neale added 15 points for Phoenix, which pulled away in the fourth quarter and led by as many as 16 points down the stretch. The Suns maintained control throughout the second half and never trailed after halftime.

Meanwhile, Indiana’s struggles continued as the Pacers dropped their 11th consecutive game, falling to an NBA-worst record of 15–51.

Andrew Nembhard paced Indiana with 23 points, while Jarace Walker finished with 12. Ethan Thompson scored 11 points, and both Jay Huff and Ben Sheppard added 10 points each. Jalen Slawson recorded career highs with 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists.

Booker continued his recent scoring tear, averaging 31.8 points over his last five games. Indiana trimmed the deficit to 10 with 2:31 remaining, but Phoenix responded with a quick five-point burst to secure the final margin.

The teams battled evenly early, with Booker scoring 15 points in the opening quarter as the period ended tied at 36. Phoenix gained a 50–44 edge midway through the second quarter after a basket by Collin Gillespie.

Nembhard kept Indiana within striking distance by scoring 23 points in the first half. The Pacers closed the second quarter on a 15–6 run to cut the Suns’ lead to 67–61 at halftime, while Booker had already collected 22 points for Phoenix.

Booker extended the Suns’ advantage in the third quarter, drilling a 3-pointer to make it 79–68 with 8:40 remaining. Indiana later rallied to within two points with just over two minutes left in the period, but Phoenix answered with an 8–0 run to take a 96–88 lead into the fourth quarter.

The game also marked the Indiana debut of Ivica Zubac, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in a multi-player trade on Feb. 5. The 7-foot center had been sidelined since Feb. 2 with a left ankle sprain and finished with eight points and six rebounds in just over 16 minutes before sitting out the second half.

Indiana was significantly short-handed, playing without Pascal Siakam (right knee sprain), Aaron Nesmith (right ankle injury management), Obi Toppin (right foot injury management), T. J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness) and Quenton Jackson (right calf soreness).

With the victory, Phoenix continues to build momentum as the regular season enters its final stretch, while Indiana looks to regroup during a difficult losing skid.
