After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Pistons 132-90. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
