After Action Report

The Pacers squeaked past the Lakers 127-126 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
