After Action Report
In Toronto, the Raptors outlasted the Pistons 106-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
