After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Hornets 131-76. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Hornets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
