After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Rockets 128-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
