After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Raptors 98-81. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
