Dupree's great game led Phoenix to a 101-92 upset of Indiana. "He really gave us the win," said winning coach Bob. "I think the rest of the team really felt intimidated coming in, but Dupree showed them that we could pull off the win. You could really see the confidence build as time went on."

Wade paced Indiana, but his effort was not enough. "It's easy to blame the star when we come up short," said Indiana coach Coach Hitch. "But really, if we all played like him we'd have won. It's just that we sometimes take him for granted and sit around watching him dominate. Today's game served as a wake-up call for the rest of the team."

Phoenix was led by Dupree (27 points, 14 boards, 2 assists, a steal, a block), Celaya (19 points, 6 boards, 3 assists), Virtue (11 points, 2 assists, a steal). Indiana was led by Wade (25 points, 8 boards, 0 assists), Sigler (12 points, 2 assists, 2 steals), Gray (16 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a block).

After this win, Phoenix are now 34-39 and 21-17 at home. They hold at #3 in the Pacific and advance to #10 overall in the Western Conference. Indiana fall to 39-35 with today's defeat. They stay at #2 in the Central and stay at #6 overall in the Eastern Conference.
