After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Pacers 120-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
