After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons took care of the Lakers 126-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
