After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers buried the Trail Blazers 131-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
