After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Pistons 104-83. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
