After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Pistons 131-105. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
