After Action Report

The Pacers edged the 76ers 106-99. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
