After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Pistons 130-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
