After Action Report
The Trail Blazers stunned the Pistons 125-110. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
