After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the Spurs 113-106. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
