After Action Report
The 76ers blew the doors off the Pacers 128-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
