After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Pacers 111-106. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
