After Action Report

The Pacers pulled away from the Hawks 146-136 in overtime. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
