After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Pacers 95-94. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
