After Action Report
The Pacers edged the Raptors 108-102. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
