After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the SuperSonics 120-112. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
