After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers snuck past the Hornets 102-99. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
