After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons squeaked past the Bulls 95-92. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Bulls' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
