After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Pistons 132-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Grizzlies cashed in. The Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
