After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Grizzlies 105-87. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Grizzlies' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
