After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Pacers 104-103. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
