After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Hornets 109-96. Pacers' offense had its way with the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
