After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Warriors 131-109. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
