After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers blew the doors off the Wizards 109-68. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. The Pacers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
