The Raptors dominated the Pistons with physicality on Sunday night and handed them another disappointing loss. Despite getting Ausar Thompson back from injury, the Pistons were lackluster on defense - especially when it came to closing out possessions with a rebound. It's representative of a larger trend for the Pistons, who have often lost the rebounding battle in recent games against good teams.
The Pistons need to get tougher on the boards
Detroit started the season very strong in their physicality. In fact, they still rank as a top-10 team in overall rebounding and have allowed the 4th fewest rebounds to their opponents.
