The Pacers only shot 39.7% from the floor last night and they were outrebounded 53-38 which explains the loss.

Troy Murphy also had a really good game for the Pacers last night with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. T.J. Ford pitched in with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists last night.

Danny Granger had 33 points and hit six threes for the Indiana Pacers (6-10), but it wasn’t enough to take down the Sacramento Kings.  Granger shot well from behind the arc, but didn’t shoot well overall (10-24 from the field).  The Pacers shot 44% as a team while the Kings shot 51% from the field.  The Pacers did out-rebound the Kings 49-39, but they could not stop Kings’ rookie Tyreke Evans who had 26 points and got to the rim at will.  They let Evans get to the free-throw line 14 times, and he went 12-14.  The Pacers need someone besides Granger to score the ball more.

The Indiana Pacers (6-9) fell victim to the Golden State Warriors’ (6-10) electric guard Monta Ellis and were blown out last night.  Going into the 4th quarter it was only a 2-point game, but Ellis was on fire most of the game and helped the Warriors outscore the Pacers 41-24 in the 4th quarter.  Ellis finished the game with 45 points,5 rebounds, and 5 steals.  The Pacers turned the ball over way too many times in this game (25) and they could not find a way to defend Ellis.  Danny Granger led the Pacers as usual, with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.  He did have 5 turnovers though, something he needs to work on.  Mike Dunleavy was very effective despite only playing 23 minutes.  He had 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals in the limited time he saw.  The Pacers should give him more minutes than 23.  The free throw line killed the Pacers as well, hitting only a pathetic 3-21 (14%) from the line.
