After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Trail Blazers 106-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
