After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers buried the Hornets 122-92. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
