After Action Report
In Washington, the Wizards snuck past the Pacers 96-92. The Wizards won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
