After Action Report

The Pistons rolled past the Pacers 95-73. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
