After Action Report

The Pacers held off the Lakers 105-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
