After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons snuck past the Kings 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
