After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Magic 107-103. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
