After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the Lakers 106-103. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
