After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Pistons 111-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- 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.
