The Toronto Raptors (21 - 6) defeated the Detroit Pistons (5 - 22) 110 - 100 on Friday. Toronto has won five straight games, knocking down most of the Eastern Conference's lottery contingent over the last week. Six players scored in double figures for the Raptors. Jonas Valanciunas scored a team - high 17 points and pulled down seven rebounds. They continue to win even without DeMar DeRozan (adductor) in the lineup, maintaining their seat atop the Eastern Conference standings, but a scary injury happened to Landry Fields in Friday's game. Fields took a bad fall and had his head hit the court, causing him to suffer a cut in his head that required eight stitches. Considering the serious potential of the situation, Fields came out OK, even passing a concussion test. The Raptors will play the New York Knicks on Sunday. Detroit has lost their last three games, as they were navigating a murder's row of the Clippers, Mavericks and Raptors. Brandon Jennings scored a game - high 22 points, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope backed his play with 18 points in 27 minutes. Jodie Meeks played 25 minutes off the bench but finished with just four points in 25 minutes. Detroit will try to right the ship when they travel to Brooklyn to take on the Nets on Sunday.
