After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Rockets 106-96. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
