After Action Report

The Pistons downed the Trail Blazers 115-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
