After Action Report
The Raptors buried the Pistons 129-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Raptors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
