After Action Report

The Pistons ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 119-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
