After Action Report
The Wizards handled the Pacers 122-110. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
