After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Rockets 95-92. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
