After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Grizzlies 103-98. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
