After Action Report
In Washington, the Pacers handled the Wizards 111-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
