After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Pistons 107-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
