After Action Report

The Pistons blew the doors off the Clippers 126-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Clippers lately. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
