FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 105-92 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Little Caesars Arena
SHOT SPECTRUM – Dwane Casey left Toronto, but the shot spectrum he taught the Raptors – and has implemented with the Pistons – remains firmly in place. It produced a startling first-half statistic as the Raptors won their 10th straight game and went to 3-0 over the Pistons this season – after the Pistons swept the three-game series in Casey’s first season with the Pistons. Toronto, which won its 10th straight game, scored 57 of its 60 first-half points either in the paint (36) or from the 3-point arc (21) and finished with 66 points in the paint and 27 from the 3-point line.
