The Pistons downed the Rockets 107-93. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
