After Action Report
In Houston, the Pacers blew the doors off the Rockets 107-86. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
