After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Pacers 131-117. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
