After Action Report

The Warriors outlasted the Pacers 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
