Toronto — The result of the game was secondary to the scenario of Pistons coach Dwane Casey returning to Toronto to face his former team for the first time.
Casey got a standing ovation from the Toronto fans but got something more — the Pistons’ best win of the season.
Reggie Bullock hit a lay-in at the buzzer and the Pistons overcame a 19-point deficit to take a 106-104 victory over the Raptors before a sellout crowd at Scotiabank Arena on Wednesday night.
The crowd was stunned at the outcome, as the Pistons (7-6) clawed their way back gradually, behind Stanley Johnson’s defense on Kawhi Leonard and Blake Griffin’s 30 points and 12 rebounds.
