After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Jazz 136-114. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
