After Action Report
In Detroit, the Raptors squeaked past the Pistons 96-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Raptors pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
