After Action Report

In a track meet, the Pacers buried the Kings 111-85. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · 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.
