After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Hornets 110-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
