After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Jazz 114-99. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately. 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.
