After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons blew the doors off the Raptors 118-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
