After Action Report
The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Pistons 97-84. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
