Suns 106, Pacers 83:
Gerald Green came off the bench to score 18 of his 23 points in a scorching first half as visiting Phoenix stayed hot on the road.

Isaiah Thomas scored 16 points and Markieff Morris added 13 for the Suns, who opened their six-game road trip with a loss but have won four in a row since. Goran Dragic and Anthony Tolliver chipped in 11 points apiece as Phoenix picked up its second win in as many nights by more than 20 points.

The Pacers shot a season-low 36.9 percent from the floor and offered little resistance after losing center Roy Hibbert to a sprained ankle in the first quarter. Rodney Stuckey led the way with 14 points but he also departed the game with an apparent wrist injury midway through the fourth.

Green scored the final 12 points of the first quarter for Phoenix and had two 3-pointers early in the second to put the Suns up 43-31. Solomon Hill's basket in the final minute before halftime cut Indiana's deficit to 55-48, but an 11-3 burst after the break by Phoenix pushed the margin back to double digits and Green struck again from long range for a 76-62 advantage late in the third.

Indiana went over four minutes without a field goal to begin the fourth as the Suns began to pull away, seizing a 91-68 lead on a layup by Thomas with 6:48 left. The Pacers rallied to get the deficit down to 15 but never seriously threatened in falling for the 14th time in the last 18 meetings.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Thomas made all four of his free throws to extend his streak of consecutive makes from the line to 48. ... Stuckey was hurt after tripping over a cameraman along the baseline and immediately went to the locker room. ... Hill scored 13 points and C Ian Mahinmi added 12 and 10 rebounds for Indiana.
