What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
