After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Raptors 127-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
