After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Lakers 129-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
