After Action Report

The Pacers survived the Bucks 118-117. The tempo dragged the Bucks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
