After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 147-125. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
