After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Raptors 101-99. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
