INDIANAPOLIS — The second best defensive team in the NBA couldn't contend with the Pacers offense Tuesday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Indiana snapped a league-best seven game Memphis winning streak 134-116. It was the most points scored by the Pacers this season.

Indiana never trailed and was up by 23 points at the half and 19 heading into the final period. The Pacers shot 59% for the game and 55% from beyond the three point line.

Six Indiana players scored in double figures. Domantas Sabonis tied his career-best with 32 points and 13 rebounds. Malcolm Brogdon had 23 points. Myles Turner finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks.

The Pacers improve to 12-9 while Memphis is now 9-7. It was only the second road loss for the Grizzlies this season.
