After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Hawks 105-99. Pacers' offense had its way with the Hawks. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
