After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Bucks 99-86. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
