After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Warriors 125-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
