After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Raptors 131-110. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
