After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Hornets 106-96. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
