After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons handled the Raptors 116-98. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Raptors came in with something to prove after a loss. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
