Raptors lose their defensive identity against Pistons, fall 121-127

There’s only a handful of games that Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey circles on his calendar, and tonight’s game was one of them for sure. Casey and his Pistons had another successful visit to Toronto, handily beating the Raptors 127-121. This loss is the fourth consecutive for the Raptors at the hands of Casey and the Pistons, who got the sweep last season.

The Raptors got Pascal Siakam back tonight, and he looks closer to his all-star form, with a near triple-double stat line of 25 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. Gary Trent Jr. had a hot start, going 5-for-5 on the field, but was stymied for most of the game.
