After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons fended off the SuperSonics 101-94. The SuperSonics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
