After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Pacers 111-70. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
