After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Pacers 125-98. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
