After Action Report
In Milwaukee, the Pacers survived the Bucks 101-97. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Bucks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
