After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Pistons 129-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
