After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons outlasted the Rockets 106-96. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
