The Pacers still remain as the 13th seed in the Eastern Conference, and fell to 17-30 in 47 games played on the season. 

They are a veteran led team, so this year has been a huge disappointment. 

Six players scored in double-digits for the Pacers, and Chris Duarte led the way with 17 points. 

As for the Suns, they are the best team in the NBA with a 36-9 record in 45 games played this season. 

They made the NBA Finals last season, but lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games. 

However, they look like a team who may have another shot to make the NBA Finals this season.
