After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Hornets 107-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
