After Action Report
In Indiana, the Pistons took care of the Pacers 111-96. Pistons' offense had its way with the Pacers. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
