After Action Report
The Trail Blazers snuck past the Pistons 102-99. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
