After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Pacers 105-96. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
