After Action Report
The Pacers edged the Spurs 106-98. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
