After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Nets 131-98. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
