In Detroit, the Rockets outlasted the Pistons 107-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
