After Action Report

In Utah, the Pacers fended off the Jazz 122-115. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
