After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the Nuggets 108-104. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
