After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Pistons 126-97. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
