After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Magic 112-109. Pacers' offense had its way with the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
