After Action Report

The Wizards downed the Pacers 133-115. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
