INDIANAPOLIS — Danny Granger scored 33 points, Mike Dunleavy added a season-high 30 and the Indiana Pacers overcame a 24-point deficit to beat the Phoenix Suns 122-114 on Wednesday night.
It was the second consecutive game the Pacers trailed by more than 20 points in the second quarter and won. Indiana was down BY 23 against Toronto on Monday before rallying for a victory.
Earl Watson added 14 points and nine assists for the Pacers, who won their fourth home game in a row.
Steve Nash had 20 points and nine assists, despite missing more than a quarter with a busted lip. Nash got seven stitches after taking an elbow from Watson late in the first quarter, but he returned for the second half.
The Pacers led by one in the fourth quarter before Granger and Dunleavy made back-to-back 3-pointers to give Indiana a 118-111 lead with 2:07 to play.
Nash made a 3-pointer with 1:40 left, but Granger answered with a jumper to extend the lead to 120-114 with 47.3 seconds remaining. Dunleavy made two free throws to seal it.
