After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Nets 137-87. Pacers' offense had its way with the Nets. The Pacers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
