After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons took care of the Lakers 108-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
