--The Pacers had at least five players reach double-figures in points for the second straight game. Coach Jim O'Brien's offense allows for plenty of opportunities to score. All-Star forward Danny Granger led five players in double-figures with 22 points. "That's what we had last year," O'Brien said. "Danny might score more points, but generally when you score over 100 points you're going to have five guys scoring." --The Pacers will likely continue to be shorthanded for the time being. Pacers coach Jim O'Brien said forward Troy Murphy, who has missed the past two games with a bruised lower back, is doubtful for the Nov. 11 game against Golden State. Veteran center Jeff Foster, who sprained his right ankle against Miami on Oct. 30, is out at least another two weeks. O'Brien has started a small lineup with Danny Granger at power forward in Murphy's absence.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I feel like we're turning the corner defensively. We're trusting each other and Roy (Hibbert) is doing a good job controlling the paint. We've got bigs that want to get in and scrap." -- G Dahntay Jones.
