After Action Report

The Raptors rolled past the Pistons 104-78. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Raptors. The Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors locker room is humming, and it showed. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
