After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the 76ers 111-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
