After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Pistons 103-100. Every possession went the Pacers way. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- 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.
