After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons stunned the Pacers 116-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
