After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Nuggets 112-107. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 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.
