After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Pacers 103-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
