After Action Report
The Pacers edged the Wizards 97-90. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
