After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Pistons 128-114. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
