After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Grizzlies 129-122 in overtime. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
