After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Suns 111-109. Pistons' offense had its way with the Suns. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
