After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers survived the Suns 95-91. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Suns came in with something to prove after a loss. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
