After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Pistons 116-98. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
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.
