After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers downed the Kings 122-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
