After Action Report

The Pistons blew the doors off the Cavaliers 121-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
