After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Magic 110-96. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
