After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Bucks 97-88. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
