After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Raptors 116-96. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
