After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors demolished the Pistons 117-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors steamroller is in full effect right now. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
