After Action Report
The Raptors survived the Pistons 109-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
