After Action Report
In Detroit, the Raptors held off the Pistons 108-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; the Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
