After Action Report
The Pacers edged the Pistons 106-100. Pacers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
