After Action Report
In Indiana, the 76ers blew the doors off the Pacers 128-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
