DETROIT — The new-look Pistons, eagerly looking to snap a three-game losing streak, hosted the Toronto Raptors in a low-scoring matinee at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday afternoon.
It was a close contest throughout, as neither team led by more than six points until the Pistons reached a seven-point lead late in the third quarter. Offense was hard to come by, and the game was predicated on the defensive end. The 3-pointer wasn't going down for either team, so Detroit had to rely on their inside scoring, while Toronto lived at the free-throw line.
However, the Raptors put together enough impactful plays to escape with a 95-91 victory in front of a split crowd on Saturday. It marked the Pistons' fourth loss in a row after recent defeats to the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic.
