After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Spurs 120-105. Pacers' offense had its way with the Spurs. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
