After Action Report

The Spurs squeaked past the Pistons 118-115. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
