After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Pacers 122-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
