After Action Report
The Raptors buried the Pistons 126-101. Raptors torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
