After Action Report
The Lakers pulled away from the Pacers 116-98. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
