After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Lakers 117-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

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