After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Nets 130-101. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Pacers. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
