After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers demolished the Hawks 109-78. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hawks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
