The Detroit Pistons came out flat and never got on track against the Toronto Raptors, last season’s Eastern Conference finalist. Check out our grades from the Pistons 103-92 loss right here.

The Detroit Pistons never quite got it going and their patented second half surge was met with resistance by the Toronto Raptors. Andre Drummond displayed good passing touch and was a positive presence in the post, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope continued his strong play after standing out against the Milwaukee Bucks a game ago.
