After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Lakers 134-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
