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.
