After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Kings 137-78. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
