PHOENIX - Gerald Green scored 23 points against his former team, leading six Phoenix players in double figures, and the Suns emphatically snapped Indianas five-game winning streak with a 124-100 victory Wednesday night that matched the Pacers most one-sided loss of the season. Indiana, with the leagues best record (33-8) and the NBA leader in scoring defence and field goal percentage defence, gave up the most points it has all season. Goran Dragic scored 21, Markieff Morris 20, P.J. Tucker 13, Miles Plumlee 11 and Channing Frye 10 for the Suns. Paul George scored 26, George Hill 16 and David West 13 for Indiana. Phoenix scored 62 points in each half, the most allowed by the Pacers in any half this season. Phoenix led by 13 at the half, as many as 24 in the third quarter and 26 in the fourth. Green and Plumlee came to the Suns along with a first-round draft pick in a trade that sent Luis Scola to Indiana in the off-season. Scola scored five on Wednesday night. The Suns shot 54 per cent, including 11 of 16 from 3-point range. The Pacers committed 21 turnovers, resulting in 27 Phoenix points. The Suns had 10 turnovers for 10 Indiana points. The Suns led 62-49 at the break. The onslaught started when Phoenix opened the second quarter with a 14-2 run that put the Suns ahead 44-31. Frye and Green each sank a 3 in the surge. The Pacers, having trouble with some the Suns best offensive pressure of the season, never got closer than nine the rest of the half. Tuckers 3-pointer from the corner put Phoenix ahead 59-45, then Dragic made one of two free throws and it was 60-45. George sank jumper, then with 9.8 seconds left, Dragic made an 18-footer and the Suns were up 62-47. Georges step-back 21 footer at the buzzer cut it to 62-49. Green scored 18 in the first half, George 14. The Suns turned it up a notch to start the second half, opening with a 10-2 run to lead 72-51 on Tuckers basket. When Dragic sank a 3 moments later, Phoenix led 79-55 with 7:12 left in the third quarter. The Suns led 96-79 entering the fourth. The Pacers scored the first four points of the final quarter to make it 96-83 but Ish Smith scored on a drive, Morris sank consecutive 3s and Phoenix led 105-83 in one of the most raucous environments at US Airways Center this season. With 6:06 to go, Indiana coach Frank Vogel raised the white flag, emptying his bench with his team trailing 109-83.

You grow up watching the all-star game as a kid. To be able to participate, every single player in the league wants the chance to do that. Just to kind of be mentioned is an achievement in itself.But he wasnt about to look up a new flight when it was pointed out Columbus is sort of on the way to New York.I guess there was some talk, but theres so many good goalies in the league that, you know, Im not really holding my breath on anything.Hutchinson went into the game third among the leagues goalies with a 2.00 goals-against average and second in save percentage with his .932.Bobrovsky stopped nine of the 12 shots he faced and was replaced by Curtis McElhinney.Winnipeg scored on its first two shots of the game, with Blake Wheeler getting his 13th of the season at 1:08 and Evander Kane following up with his 10th on the second shot at 6:06 of the first period.Chris Thorburn and Jim Slater scored second-period goals for the Jets.Fans gave the players a loud, standing ovation as the seconds counted down. The last time Winnipeg had a shutout at home was Dec. 31, 2013, a 3-0 victory over Buffalo.The Blue Jackets have been shut out three times this season and had won their past two games during this three-game road trip.I dont really know the extent of his injury right now, but hes the backbone of this team and hopefully hell be back on the ice as soon as possible, Columbus centre Ryan Johansen said of Bobrovsky.It sinks all the energy out of the bench. Hes the most important player on our team and he goes down with an injury. You dont want to see that on any team.ddddddddddddThe Blue Jackets have three players selected to make their all-star debut — Bobrovsky, Johansen and Nick Foligno. Its the first time the franchise has had more than one player selected to play in the game.Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien is the only Jets player participating in the game.Jets head coach Paul Maurice said if Bobrovsky cant play and Hutchinson gets tapped on the shoulder, hed be happy for him — but a bit worried, too.We love Hutchie, Maurice said. Im not excited about goaltenders going to all-star games. Its the one lousy position in that game.How could you not be just enamoured by the way hes played? There are a lot of good goaltenders in this league, but he would certainly be a guy whos earned it.The Jets go into the break picking up points in seven straight games (6-0-1).Wheeler opened the scoring when he took a pass from Andrew Ladd and got a backhand shot off as he was spinning around and falling down in the slot.Just rest, Wheeler said of his upcoming plans during the break. I think thats the key. This is a good opportunity. Weve played a lot of hockey here, especially recently.Kane scored after taking a dropped pass by Mark Scheifele just outside the top of the right face-off circle and firing a low shot at Bobrovsky, who had to look back in the net after the puck went through his pads at 6:06 for the 2-0 lead.Some good saves by Hutchinson and blocked shots by the Jets kept Columbus off the scoreboard in the opening period in which the Blue Jackets outshot Winnipeg 14-6.Jay Harrisons point shot went through traffic and was tipped in by Slater at 4:45 of the second. Jacob Trouba, making his return after missing 16 games with an injury, assisted on the goal.Bobrovsky was helped off the ice with 12:16 left in the period. Forward Jeremy Morin had already left with an upper-body injury and didnt return.The Blue Jackets were then hit with an unusual bit of bad luck.The blade of Columbus defenceman Fedor Tyutins left skate fell off on the ice near his teams goal with 8:18 remaining in the period. Tyutin could barely balance and tried to position his body to block any shots. He was then supported by a teammate as he made his way to the dressing room, but returned to the game.Winnipeg soon made it 4-0 when Thorburn scored on a rebound with 5:50 remaining. The Jets flipped the table in the middle frame, outshooting the Blue Jackets 17-7 to go ahead 23-21.Hutchinson had fans chanting his name in the third period after he robbed a close shot by Columbus centre Brandon Dubinsky with about eight minutes left.
