The host Indiana Pacers handily defeated the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, 107 - 94. Indiana (37 - 36) has been one of the most consistently average teams in the league, hovering around .500 since late January. There was nothing average about their performance on Sunday, though, as they took down the visiting Sixers with ease. Defense was the key to victory, as they held Philly to under 40 percent shooting on the night while also forcing 14 turnovers. Sophomore big man Myles Turner was the leader on that end of the floor, blocking two shots and adding a steal in addition to a massive 17 - point, 16 - rebound double - double. The promising young big shot an impressive 7 - of - 9 from the field. Star forward Paul George, meanwhile, led the team with 21 points. Philadelphia (27 - 46) remains near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings despite relative improvements of late. On Sunday, despite pouring in 14 three - pointers, the Sixers struggled on the offensive end. Philly shot only 39 percent from the field and saw no single player score above 16 points. It was a particularly off night for Rookie of the Year front - runner Dario Saric, who shot just 3 - of - 15 from the field on the night en route to only nine points. Despite this, Saric came away with 10 rebounds. Indiana will host the Timberwolves on Tuesday, while the Sixers will visit Brooklyn.
