After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Suns 116-104. Pacers torched the Suns on the offensive end. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
