After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Bobcats 105-103 in overtime. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • Bobcats · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
