TORONTO – When you sign a coach of Dwane Casey’s stature, the expectation is that there will be bigger wins down the road than whatever might happen in mid-November.
But until the Pistons get a chance to start notching big playoff wins under Casey, what happened on this mid-November night north of the border will do quite nicely. On Casey’s first trip back to Toronto since getting fired last spring– and then winning NBA Coach of the Year honors for leading the Raptors to 59 wins and the East’s No. 1 seed – the Pistons chalked up the first signature win of the Casey era.
