After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pistons stunned the Pacers 99-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
