🔴 FINAL: Pistons 8 - Kings 3

Series: Pistons lead 3-2

⸻

🚨 GAME STORY: BLOWOUT + BIG DECISION

Tonight was all Jetson and the Pistons. The Kings got steamrolled, and with a minute left on the clock and the score out of reach, Kings head coach made the crucial call to pull Slash from the field. It was the right move — Slash was playing through a lingering axle sprain, and risking a third demo could’ve cost them the series and his postseason.

⸻

🔧 SLASH’S NIGHT (Before Subbing Out)
• 2 Goals
• 1 Save
• 1 Close-range bump avoided
• 0 Demos taken (a win in itself)

Coach made the move before the storm hit. A smart risk-management decision with Game 6 looming.

🗣️ “We weren’t gonna catch up. There’s no point risking one of our best guys when the fight’s already over. We need him healthy if we want to force a Game 7.” – Kings Coach, postgame

⸻

💥 JETSON GOES OFF
• 5 Goals
• 1 Assist
• One nasty ceiling flick goal
• Multiple demos forced (though none landed on Slash)

Jetson was unstoppable. He controlled tempo, stole boost, and psychologically dominated the match. That’s now back-to-back 5+ goal playoff games, and he’s reminding fans why he’s in the Face of the League discussion.
