PLAYER NOTES:
--C Roy Hibbert is starting to fall deeper and deeper on the bench. The rookie out of Georgetown has played a total of three minutes in the past two games. He had three fouls in a minute against Philadelphia on Friday.
--F Troy Murphy won't put up many 20-point, 10-rebound games, but he's showing he can be a 13-point, 10-rebound performer. Murphy got his fourth double-double of the season when he had 12 points and 13 rebounds.
--F Danny Granger's hot scoring streak has suddenly slowed down. Granger has failed to score at least 20 points in back-to-back games after accomplishing the feat in the first six games he played in. The Pacers' leading scorer had 15 points.
--G T.J. Ford picked up his first technical of the season when he complained about a no-call in the third quarter. The Pacers point guard finished with 16 points, seven rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Mike Dunleavy (knee) is sidelined indefinitely because of tendinitis in his right knee. Dunleavy, the Pacers' second-leading scorer last season, played just 12 minutes in the preseason and has only taken part in one practice since training camp started in late September.
