After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Pistons 115-95. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
