After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Trail Blazers 109-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
