After Action Report

In Detroit, the Warriors pulled away from the Pistons 116-101. Warriors' offense had its way with the Pistons. Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
