The Pacers only shot 36.5% from the floor and that did them in.  Can’t blame Jermaine O’Neal for this loss as he scored 31 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, dished out 4 assists and stole the ball 3 times.  Stephen Jackson also was busy with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.  Danny Granger had another decent game with 12 points, 3 steals and 2 blocked shots.  Sarunas Jasikevicius (12 points) and Darrell Armstrong (10 points) each played well off the bench.

The Pacers fell to 13-13 on the season with this loss.
