After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers took care of the Pistons 130-112. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
