After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Bucks 97-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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.
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
