The most eye-popping stat of the night was the Wizards' 62-23 rebounding advantage, which helped Washington overcome their 19 turnovers in the game.
The Wizards were able to outscore the Pacers in each of the first three quarters, including a dominant 31-14 third quarter that allowed them to cruise the rest of the way.
