After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors demolished the Pistons 127-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
