After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Raptors 113-108. Pistons torched the Raptors on the offensive end. The Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss; Raptors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · 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.
