After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pacers demolished the Pistons 132-96. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pacers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
