After Action Report

The Pacers squeaked past the Jazz 99-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
