After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pistons squeaked past the Pacers 109-107. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pacers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
