After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Hornets 120-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
