After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons rolled past the Jazz 137-96. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
