After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Lakers 138-71. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
