After Action Report
The Pacers rolled past the Pistons 153-104. Pacers' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
