After Action Report
In Houston, the Pistons shocked the Rockets 112-78. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
