After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Rockets 109-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
