After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Pistons 90-89. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; the Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
