After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Raptors 130-90. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
