After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Pacers 116-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
