After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers squeaked past the Wizards 95-94. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
