After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Pistons survived the Bucks 100-95. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
