After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Trail Blazers 116-113. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
