Coach Darko Rajakovic and his Toronto Raptors couldn’t pull off an upset against the Detroit Pistons, as they saw their engine stall in the fourth, allowing the hosts to escape with a 123-114 win.
The Toronto Raptors dropped by Motown, feeling high from their moral victory win against the Cleveland Cavaliers the other night. While the Raptors played their season-high 2nd consecutive competitive game, the starting unit “no-showed” to start the game, allowing the Pistons to get into their rhythm. The Raptors’ bench got them back into the game, and the starters’ carburetors warmed up just in time to keep this game competitive until the check engine light came on in the fourth, and the engine seized up down the stretch.
