After Action Report
The Trail Blazers fended off the Pistons 111-104. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
