After Action Report
The Pacers buried the Pistons 120-88. Pacers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
