After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Magic 122-115. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
