After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Kings 118-116. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
