FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Monday night’s 123-94 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre
1-A FEW BAD MINUTES – It wasn’t Stan Van Gundy’s bench that undermined the Pistons this time around, at least not to the degree it had in the first two games – losses to Boston and Charlotte – coming out of the All-Star break. The Pistons were within six points early in the third quarter when Toronto went on a 14-0 run as the Pistons went seven straight possessions without a point. It took just 2:40 of playing time and the game was essentially over as the Pistons lost their third straight and their sixth in the last seven and this time the run came with all five starters on the floor.
