After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Pacers 94-91. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
