After Action Report
The Pacers edged the Pistons 107-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
