After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers took care of the Bucks 96-84. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bucks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
