After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Pistons 117-101. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
