After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Pistons 107-105. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pacers. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
