After Action Report

The Pacers blew the doors off the Raptors 131-102. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
