After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Trail Blazers 113-112. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
