After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Pacers 119-104. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
