After Action Report

The Wizards squeaked past the Pacers 109-107. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · 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.
