After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Trail Blazers 111-103. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
