After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Pistons 119-106. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
