After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Rockets 103-99. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
