After Action Report

The Bobcats buried the Pistons 119-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
