The Pacers buried the Lakers 124-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
