After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Pacers rolled past the Lakers 122-88. Pacers torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
