After Action Report
The Pacers stunned the Wizards 104-99. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
