After Action Report

The Lakers rolled past the Pacers 85-56. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.

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.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
