After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Jazz 116-73. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
