Toronto Raptors were favored to win the match with Norman Powell, Fred VanVleet, and Pascal Siakam back on the team and they were facing one of the worst teams of NBA. Despite having things in their favor they still were unable to force a win against Pistons and lost their sixth back-to-back match this time to Pistons with a narrow loss of 112-116.
Their Offense could use more practice but Powell was the best one on the court with his career-high 43 points in the net. In the first half, they played catch up for most of the time with the help of a 6-foot-3 guard who shot 8-10 in the first half and had 21 points with just 24 minutes of playtime. But without OG Anunoby their defense took a step back.
