After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Hornets 135-117. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
