After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons edged the Raptors 111-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
