After Action Report

The Pistons pulled away from the Kings 132-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
