After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Pacers 117-116. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
