After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Rockets 103-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
