After Action Report

The Pacers survived the Wizards 103-101. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Wizards · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
