After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Jazz 105-97. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Pistons; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. 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.
