After Action Report
The Trail Blazers shocked the Pistons 113-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
