After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Rockets 92-90. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
