After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Raptors 146-84. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · 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.
