After Action Report
The Wizards demolished the Pacers 126-73. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
