After Action Report
In Detroit, the Raptors edged the Pistons 104-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
