After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Bobcats 103-86. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
