Losing their fourth straight game, the Phoenix Suns’ struggles continue to mount as they fell to the Indiana Pacers 126-108.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Kevin Durant scored 25 points and Devin Booker notched 20 for the Suns (15-18). After suffering a left hip contusion on Tuesday, Bradley Beal returned and finished with eight points.
Tyrese Haliburton led all players with 27 points, Myles Turner had 20 and Bennedict Mathurin recorded a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds) to help the Pacers improve to 18-18.
In what started out as a back-and-forth battle in the first half, Indiana overwhelmingly dominated Phoenix with a 40-point third quarter. The Suns tried to come back in the fourth quarter, but the damage was already done and they couldn’t make it up.
Seeing the team reaching rock bottom, Suns fans let out their frustration with yet another defeat in an underachieving season.
Here is just some of what the fans had to say after the loss to the Pacers:
These @Suns players don’t like each other anymore and it’s obvious. There is bad body language and no energy yet again from the same people. Changes are needed ASAP #SunsUp

So for the suns why are KD and Beal being used as the PG and Booker is sitting in the corner?

Watching the suns is painful. The “big 3” are healthy and playing and our offense just looks stagnant.

@RealDealBeal23 is just taking up space here in the Suns locker room. Get him the hell out of here already! #SunsUp @Suns

Suns transition defense literally makes me want to vomit

Vogel Suns didn't work because the "Big 3" tuned him out.
Bud Suns don't work because they're tuning each other out. I think they fundamentally don't have that faith in being a group that fits anymore…therefore, no reason to sacrifice for each other.
They know they suck.

Watch the Suns front office blame health for this
