After Action Report

The Pacers outlasted the Bucks 109-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Bucks locker-room rift aren't helping. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
