With a 119-108 win over the Detroit Pistons, the Raptors may have just delivered their most impressive performance of the season.
After an embarrassing loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on March 11th, Toronto has responded with back-to-back wins against playoff-caliber opponents. Detroit is more than just a playoff team. At 48-19, the Pistons own the best record in the Eastern Conference and are firmly in the championship conversation.
The Raptors matched Detroit’s physicality for four quarters and never looked intimidated by the top-tier opponent. After beating the Phoenix Suns in their previous game, Toronto suddenly looks like a team building real momentum.
