After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Wizards 125-65. Pacers' offense had its way with the Wizards. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
