After Action Report

The Nets buried the Pacers 123-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
