After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Pacers handled the Hawks 125-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
