After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons downed the Pacers 102-89. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
