After Action Report
In Detroit, the Grizzlies held off the Pistons 107-100. The breakneck pace played right into Grizzlies' hands. The Grizzlies carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Grizzlies · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
