After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Pacers 123-96. Pistons' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
