After Action Report

In Washington, the Wizards rolled past the Pacers 108-81. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · 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.
