After Action Report
In Golden State, the Pistons survived the Warriors 118-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
