After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Hornets 111-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
