After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Magic 141-111. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
