After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Nets 120-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
