The Detroit Pistons picked up their 2nd straight win as they defeated the Toronto Raptors 113-104 at Little Caesars Arena behind a career night for Jalen Duren.
Detroit has been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, as they made history by losing a record 28 games in a row. However, this team has bounced back and looked decent recently, as they are 4-4 over their last 8 games.
Jalen Duren had a monster game as he finished with 24 points and 23 rebounds (career-high) while shooting 8/9 from the field. This was his third 20-20 game this season, giving him the most in the league. Cade Cunningham had 19 points with 6 assists while Isaiah Stewart ended with 15 points and 3 blocks. Jaden Ivey scored 14 points with 7 assists.
Toronto was without RJ Barrett, so Immanuel Quickley stepped up and had a game-high 25 points along with 8 assists. Kelly Olynyk had an all-around game, finishing with 19 points, 6 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Bruce Brown scored 17 points on 8/12 shooting.
Detroit improves to 12-53 with this win. They are looking a lot better following the All-Star break and their young core is starting to develop their games. The Pistons are 4-6 over their last 10 games and will have a home matchup against the Miami Heat on Friday.
The Raptors drop to 23-43 with this loss and are slowly getting closer to earning themselves a top 5 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. They have lost 5 games in a row and are 3-7 over their last 10 contests. Their next matchup will be on Friday against the Orlando Magic.
