After Action Report

The Jazz edged the Pacers 132-123. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
