After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Pacers 112-92. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
