After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Raptors 100-97. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
