After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Raptors 95-93. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
