After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Hawks 115-91. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
