After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers held off the Pacers 96-89. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
