After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Raptors 104-100. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
