After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pacers snuck past the Pistons 95-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
