After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the Suns 101-97. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
