After Action Report

The Pacers squeaked past the Lakers 113-108 in overtime. Pacers' positional fit overwhelmed the Lakers rotation. The Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
