After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Pistons took care of the Bobcats 107-88. Pistons' offense had its way with the Bobcats. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · 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.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
