After Action Report
The Pacers demolished the Pistons 101-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
