After Action Report
The Wizards blew the doors off the Pacers 113-86. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
