After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Pistons 124-80. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
