After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Bobcats 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats; Bobcats' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Bobcats looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
