After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Spurs 129-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
