After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Pacers 96-78. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
