After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons edged the Grizzlies 106-99. Every possession went the Pistons way. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Grizzlies came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
