After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Kings 119-96. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
