After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Kings 130-107. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
