After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Raptors 100-90. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
