After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers handled the Rockets 110-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
