The Pistons squeaked past the Rockets 103-102. Pistons' offense had its way with the Rockets. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
