After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Spurs 100-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
