After Action Report

The Pistons snuck past the Jazz 101-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
