After Action Report
In Indiana, the Hornets buried the Pacers 129-95. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
