After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the SuperSonics 98-96. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The SuperSonics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
