After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Spurs 117-97. Pistons' offense had its way with the Spurs. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
