After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Hawks 117-84. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
