After Action Report
The Pacers demolished the Hornets 111-83. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
