After Action Report
In Indiana, the Nets squeaked past the Pacers 116-112. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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.
