After Action Report
The Pistons handled the SuperSonics 99-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; SuperSonics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a SuperSonics locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
