After Action Report
The Rockets stunned the Pacers 119-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
