After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Nets 97-92. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
