After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Warriors 124-76. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
