After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Jazz 116-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
