After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Pistons 123-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. The Pacers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pacers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
