After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pistons blew the doors off the Pacers 136-108. Pistons torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
