After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Warriors 142-104. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
