After Action Report

The Pistons snuck past the Kings 126-122 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
