The Pistons Andre Drummond and Raptors Jonas Valanciunas for a rebound
The Pistons, losers of all three of their games post-All-Star break by double digits, were playing on the road on the second leg of a back-to-back set against the Eastern Conference's leading team, so they didn't stand much of a chance tonight in the first place. The tweet was a quote of lyrics in the Kevin Gates song "Tomorrow". Once again, the bench played a major role as they combined for 54 points which meant that none of the starters played more than 25 minutes except for DeRozan who played 29 minutes.
The Toronto Raptors star is the face of the franchise and he recently spoke out about his struggles with not only anxiety, but depression as well.
The Raptors came out of the now-extended all-star break rested.
The Raptors defeated the Pistons 96-91 in Toronto on January 17 in their only meeting this season and have won three in a row against Detroit. Early in the second quarter, Toronto reeled off 10 unanswered points to grab a 12-point lead.
Blake Griffin led the Pistons with 20 points and four assists.
The Pistons looked awful again on Sunday.

But Spain's Constitutional Court has made his appointment conditional on his physical presence in the regional capital Barcelona. The nomination of Mr Sanchez is likely to be just as fraught with difficulty, given his circumstances.
"We knew that they played (Sunday) night so we wanted to make sure we kept the pace, and use our speed", Raptors coach Dwane Casey said of the third-quarter response.
DeRozan led all scorers with 13 first-half points. "There could have been a better way to take that approach, but I got great words from a lot of people", he said.
Toronto shot 51 per cent and out-rebounded Detroit in the opening half, but was hampered by nine turnovers. Evan Fournier and Jonathan Simmons led the team with 19 points apiece, Aaron Gordon added 18 points on seven of 20 shooting while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 15 points. He wasn't aggressive and finished 0-4 from the field and didn't attempt a three, and Stan Van Gundy criticized Kennard's effort afterward. Drummond had nine rebounds in the first quarter.
Raptors: Begin a two-game road trip at Orlando on Wednesday. Toronto also has a distinct home-court advantage, something that become the deciding factor in a game seven. Detroit has lost two of three meetings with the Bucks this season.
Toronto's starters relinquished a chunk of that cushion when they returned, as Reggie Bullock got hot for the Pistons.
