After Action Report
The Pistons downed the Bucks 98-87. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons sent shots into the fifth row all night; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
