After Action Report
In Indiana, the Wizards outlasted the Pacers 118-102. Wizards' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Wizards looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
