After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Lakers 104-101. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
