After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Trail Blazers 128-127. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
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.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
