After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Pacers 127-94. Rockets torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
