The Sun shot 54.8 percent from the field, made 13 of 24 from behind the arc, and topped the 100-point plateau for the fourth time this season,

Jones hit two 3s in a 38-second span to spark a 10-0 run that made it 30-12 late in the first quarter and Indiana trailed by double figures the rest of the way.
