Post-Game Grades: Indiana Pacers Impersonate Roadkill Against Wizards
By Ben Gibson
142. 104. 100. Final. 118
The Indiana Pacers got outworked, outhustled and outplayed by the Washington Wizards.
The Good: Hahahaha! THERE WAS NONE.
The Bad: This was a game where you look at the statistics (47.5% shooting!) and think things went well for the Indiana Pacers. Then you look at the score and remember the Pacers got their asses kicked by the Washington Wizards. The game took a terrible turn for Indiana in the second quarter when they were outscored 35-19 by the Wizards. During that period, Indiana shot 30.8 while allowing Washington to shoot 62.5%. They were outworked in all areas including a 20-9 disparity on the boards.
MVP: Hahahaha! THERE WAS NONE FOR INDIANA.
LVP: Anyone wearing an Indiana Pacers jersey. THAT INCLUDES YOU BOOMER. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT FRANK.
X-Factor: You have to give credit to the Washington Wizards. They took any bit of will the Pacers had coming into the game and destroyed it.
Enjoy these sad puppy GIFs as punishment.
