After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Pacers 150-109. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
