After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons squeaked past the Jazz 120-117. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
