After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Wizards 131-98. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
