After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Trail Blazers 120-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
