After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pacers downed the Hawks 100-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
