After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Raptors 99-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Raptors. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
