END RESULT

First game back from a long road trip. Stunned by the game-day suspension of their leading scorer. Riding a four-game losing streak.

None of the adverse circumstances mattered to the Pacers, who put forth one of their most complete performances of the season at both ends of the floor in beating the Philadelphia 76ers 107-96 Tuesday night before 11,535 in Conseco Fieldhouse.

In the absence of Danny Granger, suspended by the NBA for his role in an altercation in Phoenix Saturday night, the Pacers got 25 points from reserve Dahntay Jones, 24 from Brandon Rush and 19 from Troy Murphy as the offense had 32 assists (on 42 made baskets) and just 10 turnovers.

IMPACT

The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Pacers, who improved to 21-43 overall, 14-16 at home. Philadelphia (23-40) lost for the sixth time in seven games and dropped to 13-21 on the road.
