After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the SuperSonics 121-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
