After Action Report
In Portland, the Pistons edged the Trail Blazers 101-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
