After Action Report

The Rockets held off the Pistons 115-109. Rockets' offense had its way with the Pistons. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
