After Action Report
In Detroit, the Raptors held off the Pistons 108-100. Raptors' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Raptors; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
