After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Rockets 134-127. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
