After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Pacers 130-99. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
