After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Nuggets 112-87. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
