After Action Report
In Indiana, the Wizards buried the Pacers 128-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Wizards' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
