Pistons came into this game knowing that they need to come out with a win. Pistons had an excellent First half scoring 61 points, with T-mac starting the game again and Rodney Stuckey playing shooting guard for the second consecutive game. And worked out really good this time they were leading most of the game biggest lead for the pistons was 12.
T-mac had a spectacular game scoring 22 points (season High) 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Stuckey added 19 points in just 24 minutes. this was also the second straight game that Richard Hamilton was not in the rotation for the pistons. he is most likely to be traded really soon. Andrea Bargnani exploded for 31 points but he was pretty much the only Raptor who was on there game.
Pistons need to be more consistent, they often have very good first have and and horrible 2nd half, they are the worst team in the NBA in the third quarter but in this game they had a very good third quarter outscoring Toronto 22-20 pistons had a pretty good 4th quarter as well. Towards the end of the game Toronto were trying to surge back but the pistons were too much for them as the pistons came out with a 102-95 victory. If the pistons stay consistent through out the whole game like they did against the Raptors they should be alright and also they need to continue passing the ball and take good shots. They are only 3/4 games behind the 8th spot in the east they need to go on a little winning streak and they will be in the playoff talk.
