After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Lakers 111-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
