After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pacers handled the Pistons 116-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
