After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Magic 128-108. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
