After Action Report

In a track meet, the Pistons rolled past the Rockets 146-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
