After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Pacers 131-101. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
