After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Warriors 123-89. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
