The Pistons blew the doors off the Warriors 116-92. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
