After Action Report
In Indiana, the Nets fended off the Pacers 104-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
