After Action Report

The Pacers snuck past the Hawks 114-113 in overtime. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
