After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Nets 115-98. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
