After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Suns 106-105. Pacers torched the Suns on the offensive end. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
