After Action Report
The Pacers demolished the Hornets 121-93. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
