After Action Report
In Detroit, the Raptors outlasted the Pistons 114-100. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Raptors couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
