After Action Report
The Grizzlies blew the doors off the Pistons 128-96. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Grizzlies' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
