After Action Report
The Wizards rolled past the Pacers 115-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
