After Action Report

The Pistons pulled away from the Warriors 127-117. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
