After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Pistons 112-108. Trail Blazers torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
