After Action Report

In a track meet, the Pistons rolled past the Pacers 131-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
