After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Nets 137-123. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
