After Action Report

The Pacers snuck past the Grizzlies 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
