After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Raptors 118-87. Pistons' offense had its way with the Raptors. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Raptors are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it

- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
