After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers handled the Hawks 107-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
