After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Lakers 119-99. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
