Mike Dunleavy of the Indiana Pacers is kinda stuck with the “36” number syndrome as it is the fourth time that he has scored 36 points in a game for the Indiana Pacers and this time he helped his team to beat the New York Knicks 110-98. The coach of the Pacers, Jim O’Brien, said that he is not worried that Mike is not crossing the 36 point mark and is ready to accept 36 points from him for over 50 times in his career. Danny Granger also played very well for the Pacers and was a perfect foil for Mike and he scored 26 points in the match.

Mike Dunleavy has scored his career high of 36 points for the fourth time in this season and his efforts on Monday night did not help the Pacers to enter into the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks are at the moment a completely lost side as they have lost for the ninth time in their last ten games. The only notable factor for the Knicks was Zach Randolph top scoring for the team with 21 points and he also had 14 rebounds. The Pacers played the game in their traditional golden attire and the Knicks chose to wear green uniform on the St. Patrick’s Day.
