After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Pacers 128-108. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
