After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Pistons 104-103. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- 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.
