After Action Report
The Pacers held off the Pistons 100-94. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
