After Action Report

The Pacers handled the Warriors 122-109. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
