After Action Report
The Grizzlies rolled past the Pistons 124-99. The Grizzlies got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
