After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Pacers 97-95. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
