After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Pistons 134-103. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
