After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Trail Blazers 114-106. Pistons' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
