After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Warriors 115-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; the Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell. 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.

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
