After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the 76ers 115-87. Pacers' offense had its way with the 76ers. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it

- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
