After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Rockets 109-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
