After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons took care of the Suns 110-95. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
