After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Trail Blazers 123-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
