After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Grizzlies 110-107. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Grizzlies answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
