After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers stunned the Lakers 110-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
