After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Pistons 122-117. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
