After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Hornets 145-95. Pacers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
