After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Pacers 108-82. Every possession went the Hawks way. Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
