What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
