After Action Report
The Raptors demolished the Pistons 109-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
