After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Pistons buried the Kings 116-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
