Indiana may have finally put an end to questions with a 105-82 win over Golden State today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Wade was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Golden State. Wade let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Indiana was led by Wade (21 points, 10 boards, 2 assists, a steal), Mack (9 points, 10 assists, 4 steals), Sanders (16 points, 5 boards, 2 assists). Golden State was led by Casterline (19 points, 2 blocks), Hunter (14 points, 3 assists), Whitley (11 points, 2 blocks).

Indiana are now 20-13. They remain at #2 in the Central and hold at #6 overall in the Eastern Conference. Golden State keep stumbling with a losing streak of 6 games and are now 9-22 and 6-10 at home. They stay at #4 in the Pacific and stay at #13 overall in the Western Conference.
