After Action Report

In Indiana, the Wizards rolled past the Pacers 126-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
