After Action Report

The Pacers buried the Lakers 118-95. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
