After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Grizzlies 122-120 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed.
