After Action Report
The Pacers upended the Hornets 105-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
