After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Jazz 99-98. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
