After Action Report

In Indiana, the Wizards squeaked past the Pacers 123-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
