After Action Report

The Warriors outlasted the Pistons 126-111. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Warriors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
