After Action Report

In Washington, the Pacers squeaked past the Wizards 120-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them.
