With a smiling Dwane Casey leaving the court, the Raptors gave up its first season series sweep to Detroit since the 2008-09 season — ten years of avoiding what the Pistons ultimately needed the former Raptors coach to do: win in the regular season.
Toronto came out of the gates as they have all season without Kyle Lowry — with slow pace and grinding ball movement. The Pistons took an early 14-4 lead through the first seven minutes of Sunday’s action before Toronto roared back on an 8-1 run to get within two points.
