After Action Report
The Spurs ran roughshod over the Pistons 127-82. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
