After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Kings 100-80. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
