After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Rockets 106-95. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
