After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 126-96. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
