After Action Report

The Pacers squeaked past the Nets 108-107. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
