After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Rockets 112-78. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
