After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Pacers held off the Lakers 117-111. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
