After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Pacers 116-89. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
