After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers demolished the Magic 124-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
