After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Pistons 134-98. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
