After Action Report
The Hornets outlasted the Pacers 113-98. Hornets torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
