The Detroit Pistons’ first game after a depressing loss to the Charlotte Hornets was a passport-required visit to the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors. During Dwane Casey’s heavily-discussed reunion, they trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half, gave up 70 points in the paint, shot 11-of-30 from three-point land, coughed up the ball 17 times, and last, but certainly not least, they left the North with an unfathomable 106-104 win.
It was, quite easily, the best watch since Blake Griffin’s 50-spot.
