After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers took care of the Wizards 105-89. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
