After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Raptors 98-85. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
