After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers upended the SuperSonics 119-118. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
