After Action Report

In Memphis, the Pistons fended off the Grizzlies 145-139. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
