After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Rockets 115-93. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
