After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the SuperSonics 105-98. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the SuperSonics lately; SuperSonics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
