After Action Report

In Utah, the Pacers outlasted the Jazz 115-97. Pacers' stops on the defensive end set the tone. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · 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.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
