After Action Report
The Pistons buried the SuperSonics 131-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 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.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
