After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons squeaked past the SuperSonics 108-107. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
