After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Bucks 98-97. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
