After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the SuperSonics 117-116. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • SuperSonics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
