After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Lakers 117-106. Pacers' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
