After Action Report
In Toronto, the Pistons survived the Raptors 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Raptors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
