After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Nets 130-99. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
