After Action Report

The Pistons survived the Raptors 98-93. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
