After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Raptors 109-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
