After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Pistons 114-84. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
