After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Trail Blazers 98-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
