After Action Report
The Grizzlies snuck past the Pistons 117-114. Grizzlies torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
