After Action Report

The Pacers outlasted the Bobcats 102-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
