After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons edged the Nets 114-106. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
