After Action Report
The Pacers pulled away from the Wizards 111-99. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
