After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Pacers 101-88. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
