After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Suns 108-106. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Suns' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
