After Action Report
The Grizzlies pulled away from the Pistons 116-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. Grizzlies' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
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.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
