After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Magic 102-88. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
