After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers survived the Jazz 102-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
