After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Pistons handled the Kings 117-106. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
