After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Wizards 116-107. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
