After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Clippers 93-88. The Clippers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Clippers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
