The Indiana Pacers put on an absolute clinic in the nation's capital, dismantling the Washington Wizards 162-109 in a record-breaking performance.
Washington Wizards / Schedule
The Pacers set a new franchise record for most points scored in a single game with 162. This was also the highest-scoring game by any NBA team this season and the most points scored in a non-overtime game since 2008.
For the struggling Wizards, this loss marked the worst defeat in franchise history, adding to an already miserable season. With just 16 wins in 73 games, they remain one of the two worst teams in the league.
A bizarre moment unfolded in the final minute when, despite the game being long decided, Washington fans booed the Pacers for opting not to score, seemingly frustrated by the sheer dominance on display.
With this victory, Indiana solidifies its hold on the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference, improving to 43-30. As they push toward the postseason, the Pacers are in prime position to secure home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
