After Action Report
In Memphis, the Pistons survived the Grizzlies 106-101. Pistons' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
