After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers blew the doors off the Pistons 126-85. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
