After Action Report
The Pacers demolished the Rockets 124-103. Pacers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
