After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Magic 117-93. Pacers torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
