After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Warriors 116-96. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
