After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Wizards 92-91. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
