After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Suns 117-104. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
