After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Trail Blazers 102-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
