After Action Report

In Indiana, the 76ers blew the doors off the Pacers 127-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

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.
