After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Nets 100-93. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
