After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons demolished the Mavericks 159-131. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
