After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Raptors 110-102. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Raptors lately. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
