After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers took care of the Wizards 119-105. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it

- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
