After Action Report
The Pistons knocked off the Clippers 116-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
