After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers snuck past the Wizards 122-121. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
