After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Hawks 120-66. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
