After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Magic 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
