After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Pistons 121-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
