After Action Report

The Pacers outlasted the Lakers 116-105. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
