After Action Report
The Raptors outlasted the Pistons 114-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Raptors bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
