After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Trail Blazers 123-84. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
