After Action Report
The Raptors snuck past the Pistons 125-124 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Raptors cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
