After Action Report
In Seattle, the Pistons blew the doors off the SuperSonics 122-102. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
