The Detroit Pistons (27 - 44) topped the Toronto Raptors (42 - 29), 108 - 104, on Tuesday at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The Pistons exploded for 60 points in the first half to take a 12 point lead into the locker room. Toronto's Kyle Lowry gave it a go to start the game, but his back spasms flared back up and he was forced from the game. The Raptors went on a run and briefly took the lead in the fourth quarter until Reggie Jackson's free throws gave the Pistons the advantage. The Pistons and Raptors split the season series at two games apiece. Toronto made a game of it despite Lowry's injury, but could n't close it out for the win. Greivis Vasquez filled in a point guard with seven points and four assists and Louis Williams poured in 19 points off the bench. The Raptors have a big matchup Wednesday against the Bulls, who lead them by a half game for the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Detroit has now won three straight games to improve to 27 - 44 on the season. Reggie Jackson had another big game for the Pistons with 28 points, nine assists, and zero turnovers. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope continued his hot shooting stretch with 26 points, 15 of which came on three pointers. Greg Monroe sat out of this game but is reportedly nearing a return to the floor. The Pistons will return to action Friday against the Magic.
