After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Magic 115-114. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
