After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards blew the doors off the Pacers 140-107. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
