After Action Report
The Pacers handled the Pistons 115-104. Every possession went the Pacers way. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
