After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers fended off the Kings 115-109. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
