The Pistons rolled past the 76ers 109-78. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
