INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Mike Dunleavy led an outstanding shooting performance Friday that allowed Indiana to halt a six-game losing streak with a 124-92 drubbing of New Jersey.

The Nets were coming off a 4-1 homestand but they could not slow down a Pacers team that shot a sizzling 62 percent from the field and made 12-of-22 attempts from 3-point range.
