After Action Report

In Washington, the Pacers held off the Wizards 108-100. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
