After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pacers demolished the Pistons 127-94. Pacers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
