After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Raptors 117-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
