After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers outlasted the Wizards 111-97. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
