After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Pacers 133-95. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
