After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the SuperSonics 95-79. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
