After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Bobcats 96-87. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
