After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Pacers rolled past the Spurs 131-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
