After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Lakers 128-116. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
