After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pistons blew the doors off the Pacers 130-85. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
