After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 103-79. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
