After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Kings 97-96. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
