After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Bucks 130-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Bucks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
