After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Pacers 135-96. Pistons' offense had its way with the Pacers. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
