After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Lakers 120-107. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
