After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Pistons 101-83. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pacers; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
