After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons rolled past the Nuggets 136-112. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
