After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Jazz 131-109. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
