It was a wild past 48 hours for the Toronto Raptors. After falling to the Boston Celtics in a close game on the road Friday, the Raptors headed to Detroit. Arriving in Detroit early Saturday morning, the team had to get some sleep and prepare for the Pistons. Add to that, the news earlier in the day that the Raptors had just traded away OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn. Needless to say, it was a tiring and emotional day for the Raptors.
After playing one of their hardest fought games this season the Toronto Raptors fell to the Detroit Pistons 127 – 129.
