After Action Report
The Pistons upended the Spurs 105-98. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
