After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Jazz 118-97. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
