After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Pacers 120-100. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
